Wake Loses to UNC at Home 93-87
Your Wake Forest Demon Deacons fell at home to UNC tonight, 93-87.
John Collins won the opening tip and immediately took the ball to the basket, but it was Bryant Crawford who got the Deacs on the board with two free throws and off to a 2-0 lead. He followed it up by going strong to the basket giving the Deacs an early 4-0 lead. Collins then gave the Deacs a 6-0 lead off glass as the Tarheels started the game 0 for 3 from the floor with two turnovers. Then off a beautiful back screen and roll, John Collins slammed home and alley-oop, and the Deacs were up 8-0 before UNC answered. By the under 16:00 timeout, the Tarheels stopped settling for jumpshots and crawled back in to the game, 11-6.
