First off, it should be noted that Boston College was still missing DeMarr Langford Jr., Wynston Tabbs, and James Karnik entering this game. Missing those key players, especially Wynston Tabbs, put the Eagles at an immediate disadvantage.
BC’s CJ Felder started out the game very hot, scoring 5 points within the opening minutes and nabbing a bunch of boards too. But Wake Forest as a team was out-hustling BC by a long shot and finding many more quality looks, which allowed the Demon Deacons to take a commanding lead within the first 10 minutes of the game.
