The Wake Forest Demon Deacons (11-7, 2-4) had a week to prepare for the Miami Hurricanes (12-5, 2-3) and it showed. The Deacs played arguably their best half of the season in the first half, and overcame several Miami runs in the second half to win, 96-79. What were the key takeaways?
I was incredibly impressed by Wake Forest’s ball movement and patience in the first half. They had just 3 turnovers, and also had 10 assists on 16 made field goals. The guards also made a concentrated effort to feed John Collins the ball in the post, and it paid off.
