Lucas: Wake Rapid Reactions

By Adam Lucas

1. Carolina could never get enough stops to slow down Wake Forest, as the Deacs won a key Atlantic Coast Conference game in Winston. The 98-76 rout marked the first time since the 2001-02 season that the Tar Heels have lost consecutive 20+ point defeats.

2. Wake essentially only got offense from four players, but Carolina couldn't stop that quartet, and that was enough to win the game. Jake LaRavia: 31 points. Daivien Williamson: 19 points. Alondes Williams: 23 points. Damari Monsanto: 13 points. It was really Monsanto who broke the Tar Heels with three straight three-pointers midway through the second half, but the other three were consistently hard to slow down all night, no matter who the Tar Heels used defensively against them.
