College basketball is played in halves (this kind of analysis is why my input is so highly sought-after). Looking at a team's performance in the first half compared to the second half can yield interesting results. Teams that start slow may blame it on young nerves, while teams that struggle in the second half often point to either physical deficiencies (like lack of depth or endurance) or strategic shortfalls (such as ineffective halftime adjustments).
I wanted to see what Wake's first and half second numbers would reveal. However, twenty minutes is a long time in college basketball. So, I tracked Wake's points scored and allowed in each quarter of every ACC game in the 2015-2016 regular season, defined at the 10-minute mark of each half.
