Notre Dame Uses Strong Second Half to Defeat Wake Forest, 88-81
The Wake Forest Demon Deacons found themselves with a solid lead in the second half against a quality opponent, but yet again they found themselves on the losing end. The Notre Dame Fighting Irish overcame a 9-point second half deficit to defeat Wake Forest, 88-81. What were the key takeaways?
Wake Forest found themselves up 41-36 at halftime after Bryant Crawford drained a three from the top of the key as time expired. The Deacs further extended that lead to 45-36 after John Collins drained a pair of free throws and then made a layup. Notre Dame quickly responded, however, with a pair of threes in just 20 seconds time and caused Danny Manning to take a timeout.
