Last night was the latest chapter in the book of disappointment that has been written over the past 7 years about Wake Forest basketball. At times this book feels as thick as Tolstoy’s War and Peace, and certainly drags on as much as it did. The Demon Deacons led 11th ranked Virginia 29-28 at the half in Charlottesville, looking for their first win in 20 conference road games under Coach Danny Manning.
The first ten minutes of the second half started out well enough, but an all too familiar story then played out, as a 19-4 second half run doomed the Deacs, and sent them to their 24th consecutive ACC road loss.
