Lucas: Wake Forest Rapid Reactions

By Adam Lucas

1. Good home ACC win for the Tar Heels, outlasting Wake Forest with a strong second half, 88-79.

2. With a game featuring hosts of rotations, the Tar Heels changed the game by going to three guards with 14:09 remaining. Seth Trimble's defense disrupted the Deacon offense, and it also allowed RJ Davis to spend some time off the ball offensively, which opened up some scoring opportunities. The Heels were down 56-52 when Hubert Davis made the lineup switch. Keep in mind that Trimble also had a huge offensive rebound and putback with seven minutes left (on his way to a career high 11 points) that was just Carolina's second chance basket of the night on an evening when they were outscored 17-4 in that category.
