Wake Forest has gotten out to a nice 6-2 start on the season, taking care of business against lower tier teams, losing to an elite team in Villanova, and an NCAA Tournament contender on their home floor Northwestern. Most would say that things have gone well thus far with little to complain, or really speculate about.
One of those speculations that I have had, and I’m sure many other Wake fans have had, is why Keyshawn Woods is coming off of the bench, while Mitchell Wilbekin starts.
Immediately let me state that I am going to throw out any argument that includes “favoritism”, or any notion that Coach Manning is doing anything other than doing his best to maximize win expectancy.
