The similarities between Villanova and Wake Forest is evident. The Demon Deacons just need to follow Villanova's small school blueprint.
As the clock hit triple-zeroes and Kris Jenkins's shot split the net, Wake Forest fans rejoiced for obvious reasons:
1. UNC lost
2. UNC LOST!
3. IN HEARTBREAKING FASHION!
4. (We all burst out laughing at Crying Jordan memes this morning)
However, the UNC loss does more than drum up our inner sense of schadenfreude. The Villanova win brought out euphoric sensations and bouts of jealousy. After the initial shock and thrill, my Wake friends and I all shared a sad, but optimistic reality: If they can do it, why not us?
