Do it Tech! Take State to the woodshed! UNC was bad. Maryland's front court was overmatched. NC State is bad as well. Let's teach the Packers a thing or two about how hoops are played in the A'.
Let's summon the powers of Roger Kaiser. Kaiser led Tech to its first ever NCAA appearance in 1960.

FTRS: Who will be Wake's weekend 3? How have they been pitching?
Bart @ BSD: In last weekend's series against Xavier the Deacons experienced fairly good success from their starting pitchers Michael Dimock, Tim Cooney, and Austin Stadler. All indications from both press releases and from manager Walter are that these will be the same three pitchers getting the go this weekend. Sophomore righty Michael Dimock (1-1, 1.54) will get the chance to go against McGuire and the Jackets on Friday, with Cooney going on Saturday and Stadler on Sunday.
FTRS: With regards to Wake's bats...
Bart @ BSD: So far this season the Deacons have done a good job getting hits in the 2-3-4 spots of the lineup, primarily lead by Ryan Semeniuk who has a 14 game hitting streak. These hitters typically include Semeniuk, Steven Brooks, and Mike Murray. Murray has been named a finalist to the Johnny Bench award list (top catcher) and is off to a fast start at the plate this season hitting two home runs in the series against Xavier.
Wake hasn't done a great job of getting the hits going so far this year, but that's something that is going to happen with a young team. The Deacs have had plenty of chances and opportunities to drive runs and simply have not gotten the job done. Several times this year we have had the bases loaded with no or one outs, or runners at the corners and cannot get that one hit that busts open the game. I don't think the team lacks a killer instinct but rather that youth is something that we will have to work through this year under Walter. The bats will heat up for the Deacons.
FTRS: What are Wake's chances of improving on their 6 win total in conference from last season?
Bart @ BSD: I think that the Deacs are certainly poised to win more than 6 conference games this year. Last year's recruiting class was a solid one with Stadler, Mac Williamson, and Daniel Marrs highlighting the youngsters. With a new manager in Walter, the Deacs look more confident and cohesive as a team and I believe should win between 10-12 games in the conference. This is still not a fantastic record but if we can come close to doubling our conference win total this will be viewed as a success. There is some excitement around this team over the years to come because of Walter and I expect the Deacs to trend upwards over the next several years.
I think the Deacs will surprise people and take one of three this weekend. This would be a pretty big success if they can avoid the sweep. Thank you for the interview and if you have any further questions just let me know! Go Deacs.
Thanks to Blogger So Dear and their contributors for their great work. Tech fans look forward to a good series as long as the weather holds out. For more information check out the College Baseball Blog's preview of this weekend's ACC tilts.

First off, here is Ted's segment on the radio yesterday before UNC. The conversation can still be applied to tonight.
Now, let's look at some quotes about last night:
It also revealed nothing we didn't already know about the Yellow Jackets. GT's guard play is horrendous as ever, and they had more turnovers (13) than assists (11). There's still no real PG, they jack way too many threes, and ignore Derrick Favors too much. Maryland's solid perimeter defense will cause them problems, and Gary Williams has the knowledge and guard play to exploit it on the other end. - Ben Broman (Testudo Times)
North Carolina had made a stunning 17-0 run over 7:13 in the first half that put the Tar Heels up 24-13. Of UNC's seven shots from the floor in the run, six were layups. Everything was way too easy for Carolina -- and way too hard for Georgia Tech. But Tech reversed that in the second half. "Congratulate Georgia Tech," said Roy Williams who likely will miss his first NCAA tournament since his first year at Kansas in 1989. "I think that will help them." - Carroll Rogers (AJC)
For awhile at least, this team played like they wanted to be there. Some of it was more Tech's ineptitude than anything else; the Yellow Jackets came out slow and unfocused, with nine turnovers and 2-11 shooting from behind the arc in the first half. The Heels, on the other hand, outhustled, outrebounded and plain embarrassed Tech in the first half. Even with their all-too familiar poor shooting, UNC went into the locker room with a ten point lead, led by Marcus Ginyard, who was everywhere on the court spurring the team on. - T.H. (Carolina March)
Complaining in a seemingly growing refrain, some Georgia Tech fans have been pleading with the school — via online team message boards, Twitter and various other mediums — to let go of its head coach after his team once again finished the regular season without a winning conference record. The Yellow Jackets’ 7-9 ACC showing marked the eighth time a Georgia Tech team failed to finish above .500 in conference play since the head coach was hired nine years ago. - Coley Harvey (Macon Telegraph)
What do you think about Tech's match up tonight with the Terps? I think Tech fans should be relatively confident. We lost a tough one in College Park but physically we dominated the Terps. Take away their 17,950 fans and our guards might play an okay game. Hell, we should beat the Terps by 10 if we play up to our potential. They have no answer for Derrick Favors or Gani Lawal. Let us know your thoughts. WOOHOO! If Tech wins tonight, Winfield owes CPH a big hug.
