Sadly, my prediction was almost spot on again. Wake Forest kept it close and at times looked like they might win the game, but in the end Wake couldn't cash in on certain prime opportunities and Louisville ultimately pulled away to win on their home floor. Still, there were plenty of positives. Let's talk both.
The Ups
Wake Forest's Transition Offense And Passing In General. Louisville is well known as a team that puts pressure on defenses, getting offenses out of sorts, and forcing turnovers. Wake Forest, when they did get good defensive rebounds (too few of those, but I'll get to that), was very frequently able to get out in transition and make easy baskets, largely on the back of point guards Codi Miller-McIntyre and Bryant Crawford being surehanded, absolutely booking it down the floor, and often making wonderful passes.
