I understand the school is small enrollment-wise but they have a decent-sized area to draw from. They keep referring to fans being let down previously but if you love hoops a good matchup on Saturday would bring you back for entertainment value alone.
8,355 to see Notre Dame on a Saturday
Winston Salem Journal: Deacons delight in clutch victory
Did we not just play the top three teams in the league in a row?” Coach Steve Forbes said. “We lost by four, two and (then) won. Small margin of error in any of those games.”
Amid all this, Forbes said he liked best a play that set up Isaiah Mucius for a late-game 3-point basket with the Irish trailing by two.
“What a great play to have the leading scorer in the ACC — when it’s game time — throw it out to Isaiah Mucius, trusting him that he’s going to make a 3 and he made a 3,” Forbes said. “That’s being a team.”
Those were the types of sequences that thrilled most of the gathering of 8,355. It was a crowd that showered the Deacons with appreciation.
“I think that was easily one of the best crowds we’ve had here this year,” LaRavia said. “It was a great atmosphere. They really showed out for us.”
“I think they helped us a lot down the stretch,” Forbes said.
It’s guaranteed that the Deacons will be above .500 in ACC play for the first time in 12 years, but they’re looking for more.
