@DeaconSports And now we’re watching the changeover on court 5 for some reason… it’s bizarre how bad this coverage is (especially after last night was really good)
@JBRBracketology Does your “1 win in ACCT” change depending on if Wake is the 4 or 5? Like do you think winning the 5/12 game would be enough or you’re saying need to win the 4/5 game?
@wxbrad Hey Brad, really appreciate your account. I recently moved from Charlotte to Atlanta - who is the “you” of Atlanta weather twitter? Any recs? Non-sensational, just good timely local weather info
@DeaconSports Think he’s basically just saying Jones is a “hit” on a binary hit/miss spectrum. Like a baseball player delivering a single. Nothing extraordinary but definitely useful
@MSD_RaJohnston 100% agree. I don’t know how to model that, but my instinct is that it comes out close to a wash. If Burns isn’t available out of the pen Sun/Mon either way, I have no strong take + trust Walter
@MSD_RaJohnston Yea I’m sure this is tracked somewhere, but idk where to find it. I think what I come back to is L-W and W-L leaves you in the same place (need to then go W-W-W) so if there’s any chance Burns on Friday allows us to bring him back, I lean that direction
@MSD_RaJohnston I’m surprised by this, isn’t Friday effectively almost an elimination game? If we lose Friday, we’d need to win 4 in a row
If Burns pitches Friday, could we use him out of the pen Sunday or Monday?
@MSD_RaJohnston Doubling in the post was a predictable disaster. My issue w/ the Burns defense was how easily we let him go left. I’ll tip my cap on the couple where he spun back right, but he was mostly getting his 1st preference - that’s a big mistake within our control
@DeaconSports Interesting take. State - the #10 offense in the ACC - dropped 48 points on us in the 2nd half on 19/30 shooting (63%), with 6 ORebs on those 11 misses, and I believe ~0 turnovers. I would start the postgame analysis on that end for sure
@CamLemons_ Here you go, Cam. Rankings are FPI. To summarize: it's actually quite common -> 9 of the top 25 highest tempo offenses have a top 50 defense
@ESPN_BillC@DeaconSports For sure, that’s totally a fair approach. If SP+ thinks Wake is returning a QB w/ 4 games exp instead of 13 tho, that’s an easy reason for me to believe Wake’s O should beat the proj #100 rank. But like you said, still a tough climb to a bowl given the sched. Good stuff as always
@ESPN_BillC@DeaconSports Am I correct in saying that this does not account for Hartman’s 2018? In other words, SP+ thinks Wake is losing it’s starting QB, which is only partially true. You could argue Wake actually has a lot of passing yards returning - does SP+ know that?
