The Demon Deacons turned the ball over 19 times and shot just 31% from the field against Northwestern and that’s not going to get it done against most teams, let alone a solid Northwestern team on the road. Wake Forest dominated the glass 48 to 37, led mostly by John Collins’ 16 rebounds, and made 15 of 17 free throws, but everything else was ugly.
