Wake vs. Fairfield: 1st Half Live Thoughts

3:25 - Teauge to James Johnson behind the back on the fast break. Beautiful. 40-19.

4:24 - Hadn’t had a chance to see it until now, but Gary Clark can shoot. I’m still worried about the rebounding. I don’t know how I feel about the Teauge/Ish lineup. Defensively good, but offensively I think it hurts us…we’ll see. James Johnson is definitely very good. 36-19.

11:31 -Two things that will cause big problems if they don’t get fixed in a hurry:

1. Box out and get rebounds. Fairfield is not big enough or talented enough to be consistently beating us on the boards like this.
2. Putting the opponent in the bonus with 12 minutes left in the half. Free points we can’t afford to be giving up.

15:13 - That’s how you start a basketball game: lots of energy, defensive intensity, and good smart play on offense. The crowd is into it, and when LD makes alleyoops like that, how can they not be. We just need to keep the energy level up and everything will be good. 13-3 Deacs.
