Wake Forest's game against Duke was a matter of different things working at different times. In the first half, the defense was strong. Offense, not so much. Flip that script in the second. And yet, the Deacons were oh so close.
In the end, a big part of never being able to make that final push was the lack of having the second-most impactful player on the court. Efton Reid had four fouls 30 seconds into the second half. He only played 15 total minutes, but was one of two Deacs with a positive plus/minus. If he plays 25 minutes, who knows what happens. Also, discussion on what Steve Forbes had to say about Reid's performance.
Plus, discussion on the upcoming Virginia game, Wake Forest's tournament outlook and how this team needs to earn back the benefit of the doubt. This team needs a big win to turn the narrative...and its resume.
