Author: Cuts from The Corner

A struggle on the road following a grim performance on the road. I will, fortunately or unfortunately, have to write a shorter Cut for this game as I’ll be travelling unexpectedly later today through the rest of the week (won’t have a Clemson recording but we’ll see what clips are out there after that and…

Welp. This was the game we’ve been building toward over the past two – but really is a continuation of the issues we’ve been having since the Virginia Tech game with that brief pause against N.C. State. The month of February has not been kind to us and I’ve spoken at length about what I…

Well. I wrote after the Louisville game that the good thing about “concerning” wins is that you get to learn from them and make adjustments without it hurting your resume/standings. It is concerning, though, when you make a lot of the same mistakes in the following game and have a similar performance against a similar…

For better or for worse, my recording of the game got turned off last night and I haven’t found a full game capture anywhere. So, this review will be much lighter on clips than normal. Probably for the best! This was an ugly win; one that had no upside on the national stage but could…

Well. That was a pretty wild game! Nice to have the big officiating break at the end of a Duke game work out in our favor for once! I’ve been saying but I’ll reiterate here at length, I don’t really have much interest in rehashing that play in much detail. It’s especially laughable that they…

Every time I think I’m done writing about our frontcourt, they reel me back in! Hi, everyone. Took a needed (and timely, considering the game) vacation during the VT game, but am back to cover one of our better (and most encouraging) wins of the season. In the wake of looking lost on defense, implementing…

I wrote somewhat facetiously on social media that it was hard to find anything to write about this game, in reference to much of the offense coming against the zone, and the first two responses that I got were spot on as two of the larger things I’d earmarked to discuss. That was a cool…

After the last game I anticipated taking a break from writing about the frontcourt but, sure enough, it’s the most notable point of discussion after Jayden Gardner flipped the script from the Wake game and went off for 18 points and 6 rebounds in this one, shooting 8-12 from the field and firing up the…

This was another great win on the road, the first suffered by Wake at home this season. We shot the lights out from deep, including a career game from Armaan Franklin with 25 points and 10 rebounds in 37 minutes, and weathered the storm with both Reece Beekman and Kihei Clark playing through foul trouble…

Well, hello again! No specific game review this time, but given that we’re, roughly, halfway through the season if we get to play a few postseason games, it feels like a good time to check-in with some takeaways that I’ve been mulling while watching, digesting, replaying, pausing, replaying, pausing, replaying, clipping, and writing about the…
