It is no surprise to anybody who frequently reads this blog, or watches Wake Forest basketball this year, that Wake Forest is usually pretty damn good at the shooty hoops for 30 minutes and then falls apart for the final ten minutes.
This article is less of a speculation and analysis of why that occurs, and more of a “yes, the stats back up the feeling that we lose a lot of games late.” My primary assertion as to why we lose leads is defense down the stretch, usually allowing three-pointers or easy baskets to the opposing defense’s SG/SF.
