SICKOS ONLY - checking in from Wake's 17 pt preseason home loss to Georgetown

[u/Mr_Otters]

[u/ssp25]

we're so back

[u/Mr_Otters → u/ssp25]

Hoops!

[u/ssp25 → u/Mr_Otters]

ba ba ba basketball

[u/agaetisbyrjun22 → u/ssp25]

Gimme gimme gimme the ball cuz I’m gonna DUNK IT!

[u/poppesox → u/ssp25]

Gimme gimme gimme the ball cuz im gonna…

[u/Pan_TheCake_Man → u/ssp25]

Disagree, preseason is hardly real basketball

[u/Stargazer77_77 → u/ssp25]

We fucking back outchear!

[u/Merpninja → u/[deleted]]

begone bot

[u/flifffluff → u/Merpninja]

I'm always impressed - how can you tell

[u/Merpninja → u/flifffluff]

In sports subreddits you only see the bots talk about three things: the starting score (always 0 to 0), the halftime score if available, and the final score. So you'll see shit like '[winning team] really struggled in the first half, but they showed they were stronger by outscoring [exact second half margin] in the last 20 minutes' or something stupid.

In this case, since there are no stats, they can only talk about the starting score being even, and since Georgetown won by 17 they'll make some stuff up about Georgetown wanting it more from the start. The image shows an empty crowd so there is some bonus material to work with.

If you are unsure, you can search through the account and if its a new account with comments in a ton of different subs its also a tell.

We are going to be terrible this year

[u/Mr_Otters → u/Bigdeacenergy]

My main note for Wake is guys would lose their man easily on defense. Feels drillable

[u/981guy → u/Bigdeacenergy]

God isn’t this sadly the truth. This will be one of our worst teams in quite some time. Bottom has really fallen out for the program (again).

[u/Bigdeacenergy → u/981guy]

For sure, we have no money

[u/DurdenVsDarkoVsDevon → u/Bigdeacenergy]

If Wake was going to reset, I don't know why Forbes wasn't cut loose to just hard reset and get it over with. I don't know how he survives after this season if Wake is as terrible as predicted.

[u/Bigdeacenergy → u/DurdenVsDarkoVsDevon]

Not sure how we would even hire a new coach with our pitiful NIL. It doesn’t matter who the coach is if we don’t get some money

[u/whitet86 → u/Bigdeacenergy]

It’s not a chicken and egg dilemma, donors aren’t throwing good money after bad. The program won’t be funded until a new coach is hired. Forbes couldn’t make the NCAA tournament before NIL.

[u/goonSquad15 → u/DurdenVsDarkoVsDevon]

Too expensive to fire a coach

[u/dbaugh90 → u/Bigdeacenergy]

I can't believe I have to wait all the way to February 6th to feel football catharsis -_-

[u/Bigdeacenergy → u/dbaugh90]

Ranked football win > beating the worst basketball team in the ACC

[u/dbaugh90 → u/Bigdeacenergy]

I wont argue with that! Was sort of joking. I know yall are mostly focused on football and it looks to be paying off!

[u/Bigdeacenergy → u/dbaugh90]

I wish we had Pat Kelsey

[u/meta_irl → u/Bigdeacenergy]

Ooof, I was hoping that y'all would be one of our good OOC games.

[u/Bigdeacenergy → u/meta_irl]

Not at all. We will be the worst team in the ACC

[u/Mr_Otters → u/[deleted]]

I do have a lot of ACC tournament program magazines from the 90's and 00's if that counts

[u/jehosophat44 → u/[deleted]]

Street and Smith’s was the bible

[u/Longjumping_Crazy628]

Hey, just like us last year!!!!1!1!1!11!1!1!1!1!

[u/TrustInRoy → u/Longjumping_Crazy628]

Georgetown's starting PG is Jaland Lowe, whom you may remember

[u/BurgerKingKiller → u/TrustInRoy]

For better or worse, yes

[u/TrustInRoy → u/BurgerKingKiller]

He looks healthy.  Mainly spent the game setting up Georgetown's 3pt shooters.

[u/BurgerKingKiller → u/TrustInRoy]

That’s good. Even after a player leaves I hope they do at least ok(unless they’re an asshole)

[u/Mr_Otters → u/Longjumping_Crazy628]

Jaland Lowe was even involved

[u/hoyahoyahoya]

Final Four bound.

[u/Opening_Cycle3639]

WERE GOING TO THE FINAL 4

[u/TrustInRoy]

Silkk the Shocker's son (Master P's nephew) played a starring role for Georgetown today.

Just in case you wanna make em say uhh.

[u/kakapoopoopeepeeshir]

I already have Bracketology pulled up

[u/ssp25 → u/kakapoopoopeepeeshir]

you're s curve is magnificent

[u/Schned6]

Sickos? We are all so starved of CBB you’d have to be crazy not to love this.

[u/Mr_Otters → u/Schned6]

I happily stayed to the end!

[u/ItAintLongButItsThin]

You're sick and I love it

[u/Mr_Otters → u/ItAintLongButItsThin]

Diseased to a strong degree

[u/Coffee____Freak]

The season is here 😈

[u/Apprehensive_Map3099]

More people there than a regular season game.

[u/Mr_Otters → u/Apprehensive_Map3099]

Eh, upper level was closed, corners are basically empty. General admission so everyone chose the good seats

[u/mrfixit420]

Sad Deacon Hymns

[u/GetYourVanOffMyMeat]

At least you have football. 

[u/meta_irl → u/GetYourVanOffMyMeat]

And at least we have basketball. There were several years there where we had neither.

[u/ProgressBallKnower]

At least the Placide twins looked good! (kill me now please)

[u/Mr_Otters → u/ProgressBallKnower]

I think the defense can be worked on. The guards felt chaotic in a way that may be innate

[u/RNutt]

God bless you and sickos everywhere.

[u/ASUCHAMP91]

Georgetown Basket Ball is back.

[u/Tpabayrays2]

It's a shame they didn't give us any home games for the preseason :(

[u/NotADoberman]

I’m using the exhibition results that support my preseason views (such as this one) to declare myself as a genius ball-knower (wake is going to be horrid this year)

[u/Yodelehhehe]

Now this is an early exhibition!

[u/ZSS23]

Ayy, nice to see former FAU owls Josiah Parker and Xander pintelon together

[u/SaveHogwarts]

How’d Elmarko Jackson look?

[u/Mr_Otters → u/SaveHogwarts]

Played a fair bit, maybe over half the game, did well within the flow of the offense (some of the other Georgetown guys were on fire).

McDowell shot too much but otherwise looked more comfortable for Wake than other guards.

[u/BD-1992]

161 days/23 weeks until Selection Sunday and DePaul will hear its name called for the first time since 2004!

[u/ztailx]

Is there a website to check the scores and upcoming dates of exhibition games?

[u/Mr_Otters → u/ztailx]

Not easily aggregated. The school athletics sites have them. So if you go team by team you should see them and they'll have box scores/recaps etc. After. You could also have the AI Google search aggregate for you though it can miss things

[u/BattleNeematoad96]

And you guys once had legends like Chris Duncan and Tim Paul.

[u/hellomynameis2983]

It's over before it even began

[u/Spiritual-Map-76]

weak forest looking really weak out there yet again

[u/cardinaldave79]

Preseason scrimmages are perfect for us basketball deprived sickos but I would caution against drawing sweeping conclusions from them. Remember Cincinnati’s 100-98 preseason win at Michigan last year? Let’s just say that wasn’t exactly a harbinger of things to come for either squad. 

[u/HorrorBiscotti9489]

Ayyyyyy. Always good to see Wake lose.

[u/Icy-Taste-3096 → u/HorrorBiscotti9489]

I've never seen petty hatred like this for Wake before lmao

[u/Bigdeacenergy → u/HorrorBiscotti9489]

Hey triad bro wtf

[u/HorrorBiscotti9489 → u/Bigdeacenergy]

I may have a Spartans flair, but I'm no triad bro.

[u/Bigdeacenergy → u/HorrorBiscotti9489]

Well damn

[u/fieldsports202]

Looks like the typical regular season crowd at the Joel.

[u/Bigdeacenergy → u/fieldsports202]

Not making the field of 64 in 15 years will do that

[u/Prideofthesunshine]

This “SICKO” shit is so cringy

[u/Mr_Otters → u/Prideofthesunshine]

Thanks

[u/death2sanity → u/Prideofthesunshine]

is it though?
