At halftime, the University of Miami (UM) women's basketball team led Wake Forest 34-26, eventually cruising to a 77-47 victory. Jasmyne Roberts scored 21 points on 9-of-11 shooting, and Lemyah Hylton added 11 points off the bench. UM's defense was formidable, with a season-high 13 blocks and 19 forced turnovers. The win improved UM's record to 11-3. In men's basketball, Florida State University (FSU) snapped Wake Forest's nine-game winning streak with an 87-82 win, despite Wake Forest's efforts to recover from a poor start and 20 turnovers. FSU's Jamir Watkins contributed 10 points, and the team shot an impressive 6-8 from three-point range in the first half. Wake Forest's record moved to 11-4 overall and 3-1 in the ACC. In a subsequent match, Wake Forest delivered a commanding 66-47 win over the University of Virginia (UVA), improving their record to 12-4 and 4-1 in the ACC. Hunter Sallis led the scoring, and UVA struggled with their shooting, going 16-for-57 from the floor.

Wake Forest handed #UVa its fourth straight road loss. The Demon Deacons used an early second-half run to separate from the Cavaliers, who struggled on offense. “Even some of the good looks we got in the second half, we couldn’t capitalize on.” https://t.co/4CRwUbJFKf https://t.co/PWheADaGX0
“We couldn’t seem to stop Wake off the dribble. They just kind of either went by us or at us and boom, they were in the lane.” Wake Forest sends the #UVa men's basketball team to its fourth straight road loss. https://t.co/zine74ykeC https://t.co/IyIoKt6RgW
Wake Forest knocks off offense-challenged Virginia https://t.co/BQ2KEo09un https://t.co/QVSUHYGE5L
Virginia was 16-for-57 from the floor today for 28.1%. That's their worst shooting performance of the season. Wake Forest was 25-for-50 from the floor for 50%. That's the second-best shooting against UVA all season.
I like to think I know what a team is trying to do offensively, even in games that things don't go well. Wake Forest was good defensively ... But I have zero idea of what UVA's best-case-scenario offense is. https://t.co/0jtvjf7kLh
UVA coach Tony Bennett: "In the second half we couldn't seem to stop Wake Forest off the dribble."
Knew Wake Forest was beating Virginia but that final score 😳 https://t.co/tWVEew4j3u
One of the key stats, in my mind, from that one: Wake Forest out-rebounded UVA 40-27. Andrew Carr with 12 boards for the double-double. Hunter Sallis adds nine. Efton with eight.
Nice bounce back by Wake ... but wow, how bad is UVA this season? Not being able to score and not playing defense they way it usually does is not a good combination.
Wake Forest defeats UVA 66-47 to move to 12-4 overall and 4-1 in the ACC. Metrics should love this one. Huge game Tuesday night in Raleigh against the Wolfpack.
Wake Forest wins 66-47. The vibes are immaculate. GO DEACS 🎩
Wake Forest looked sluggish for a few minutes; UVA gets within 12. But Cam Hildreth and Boopie wake things right back up. Lead is up to 16 on a Steve Forbes timeout. 4:04 to go. Seeing some UVA fans heading for the doors.
Wake Forest leads 58-42 and Steve Forbes takes a don't-f***-this-up-and-get-careless timeout with 4:04 left.
(This is actually a pretty even rebounding game, UVA has just missed way more. They’re not getting eaten up on the offensive glass)
Hunter Sallis three-pointer and Virginia calls a timeout. The Joel is rocking, the Deacs lead is up to 14. Very strong start for Wake Forest to open the half, a 10-2 run. Virginia is starting to get into foul trouble as well; Beekman, the Hoos' best defender, is sitting with 3.
Hunter Sallis hits his fourth 3 of the game (he's taken five), and Wake Forest's lead is 37-23, largest of the day. Tony Bennett doesn't wait for the under-16 and takes a timeout.
Wake Forest has scored the first 7 points of the second half, 9 straight going back to end of first half. (until that bucket)
A Boopie Miller and-one give Wake Forest its biggest lead of the game at 34-21. Also the Deacs first free throw. https://t.co/wNTo7XRh75
HALFTIME: Wake leads 27-21 If you like low-scoring games, this is the one for you. WF: 11-24, UVA: 8-24 Deacs with 9 turnovers, but is hanging on well with 5-11 from three. WF out-rebounding UVA by 4. Sallis leads with 11.
Wake Forest takes a 27-21 lead into halftime. We're not advancing offensive basketball with this one. WF is at 0.87 ppp with 9 turnovers -- 29 in the last 3 halves. UVA is at 0.68 ppp and is shooting 33.3% (8-24).
HALFTIME: Wake Forest 27, #UVA 21 Reece Beekman with 5 points and 2 assists; Jordan Minor got the start and has 4 points and 4 rebounds. 'Hoos opened 1 for 10 shooting, but finished 7 for 14. Hunter Sallis with 11 points and 4 boards for WF.
Virginia is 4 for 8 from the foul line. Wake Forest still hasn’t attempted a free throw yet. React how you will to these facts.
Wake's offense is at: 0.80 points per possession. UVA's offense is: 0.60 ppp. Good thing Frisbee Dogs are the halftime show.
UVA not only defends at a high level, they don't let you get second opportunities. Wake Forest with just one offensive board thus far.
This is quite the rock fight that UVA has manifested so far. Hunter Sallis with 8 of the Deacs' 14 points so far. Wake leads by 2.
Wake Forest might actually make it to 20 turnovers today. Think they'll still win if UVA shoots 20% #instanalysis
You might find Wake's 0.75 points per possession and 3 TOs problematic. And then you realize UVA is at 0.33 ppp, has 2 TOs, is 1-for-10 from the field and hasn't sniffed an offensive rebound.
#UVA has hit one of its first 10 shots and has two turnovers early on at Wake ... https://t.co/eXG9tOQgih
Wake Forest has 2 kills (3 straight defensive stops) before the second media timeout.
#UVA is just 26-21 on the road the past five seasons, including 0-3 this year. The 'Hoos need to find more player leadership to change that trend Saturday at Wake Forest. "We have to figure out how to bring our own energy on the road." https://t.co/yorEwqbmXP
UM loses 80-71 to Louisville. Mike James led all scorers w/26 pts, Huntley-Hatfield 22. Matt Cleveland led UM with 22, Wooga Poplar 18. UM shot 39 percent FG, 53 percent FT. Normally, Canes lead ACC w/50.2 percent FG, 80.5 percent FT. @HeraldSports @MiamiHerald #GoCanes #ACC
Turnovers and defensive lapses proved costly as Wake Forest had its nine-game winning streak snapped last night by Florida State. @ConorONeill_DI recaps the loss: https://t.co/nPyAZH3yAk
Wake Forest coach Steve Forbes: "I'm disappointed because I think this is a game that we could have come on the road and got. But you got to give a lot of credit to Florida State. I mean they came out, I thought they were the more aggressive team."
Florida State beats Wake Forest, handing Deacs first loss in 10 games https://t.co/24e3yzpNN4
The FSU men's basketball team keeps rolling. They beat Wake Forest 87-82 to snap the Deacs' nine-game winning streak and win for the fifth time in the last six games. https://t.co/po8y5eTSkW
Wake Forest loses on the road to a Florida State team that entered the game outside the Top 100 in both the NET and KenPom. That’s what could hurt a team like Wake and its chances of being a tourney team. Gotta win these games.
FSU beats Wake Forest 87-82. Deacons' 9-game winning streak ends. The 20 turnovers, poor starts to each half prove too much to overcome. Wake's next game is Saturday against UVA.
Florida State snaps Wake Forest's nine-game winning streak and Efton Reid experiences his first loss since suiting up for the Demon Deacons. Leonard Hamilton and the Seminoles have quietly won three in a row in the ACC and five of six overall.
Deacs fall on the road to FSU 87-82, unable to overcome turning the ball over 20 times. Deacs fall to 11-4 overall and 3-1 in the ACC.
Deacs fall on the road to FSU 85-82, unable to overcome turning the ball over 20 times. Deacs fall to 11-4 overall and 3-1 in the ACC.
FSU was 0-4 on 3s ... and then Darin Green Jr. calmly strokes that contested 3 to make it 78-71. Every time you feel like Wake Forest has stemmed the tide in this game, something like that happens. Every time you feel like it's slipping away, Deacons tighten it up.
FSU responded to the brief Wake Forest lead with an 8-0 run and the Deacs are in a world of trouble down 7 with just 3:08 remaining.
Things went south quickly after the Deacs retook the lead. Florida St making FTs and Wake can’t keep up on offense. Just fouling so much.
FSU is 0-4 on 3s in the 2nd half. Seminoles struggled to close out Virginia Tech on Saturday; this one is right there for Wake Forest despite the ugly turnover number (18).
Under 8: FSU leads 67-62 Wake Forest starting to get things going on offense (5 of last 7), but FSU has it working too (6 of last 8). Defense. 7:52 to go.
12-0 run for FSU. It's 54-43. Another Wake turnover. That's 6 in the last 4 minutes.
Five fouls on the Deacs at the first 2nd half media timeout, including a 3rd personal on both Efton Reid and Andrew Carr. It's a 9-0 FSU run and Wake Forest is scrambling for answers.
Back-to-back-to-back-to-back turnovers for Wake Forest. 14 now in the game. FSU has extended the lead back to 5.
FSU leads Wake Forest 42-41. Whole lot of everything in that half for the Deacons. Ten turnovers ... only one in the last 7 minutes, though. WF holds 18-12 rebounding advantage. FSU is 6-8 on 3s -- don't think a team that shoots 33% is going to sustain that for another half.
Great floater by Cam at the buzzer. FSU leads 42-41. Wake played about as poorly as they could for 12 mins there. 42 is way too many points given up to this FSU team in a half. Let’s have our normal 2nd half here and put them away.
HALFTIME: Florida State leads 42-41 Wake Forest trailed by as much as 12, retook the lead, gave it back and fought for the final bucket to get within one. 3-pointers dictating much of the offense, the 10 TOs main issue. Defense found its footing late. Miller and Hildreth w/ 11.
FSU leads Wake Forest 42-41 at halftime. A really fun first half of basketball from the Tuck. #Noles are 6 of 8 from three-point range. Jamir Watkins leads the way with 10 points.
Deacs within 4 with the ball at the under 4. In fine position after the horribad start. Parker is carrying Wake here. Unexpected 3 point makers for FSU is very annoying but they can’t count on that all night.
27-17 at the under 8. Let’s get it to 5 or so by half. Wake learning the hard way that you can’t just dribble and midrange against FSU.
That Steve Forbes arms-folded, expressionless face going into a timeout tells the story. FSU up 27-15. Wake Forest has as many turnovers as made shots (6).
6 turnovers in 10 minutes. A terrible offensive FSU team on pace for 100 points. Wake not making their 3s. A 10 min disaster so far.
Wake Forest entered tonight's game on a nine-game winning streak but FSU looking real good so far with a 27-15 lead. Six turnovers in 10 minutes for the Demon Deacons. https://t.co/LtSaUjqTKQ
7-0 FSU run as the Noles have captured a 12-point lead. They are helping on every Wake Forest drive to the basket, being disruptive with their hands, causing bad shots or turnovers.
FSU hitting transition threes is not expected. Can’t have those silly turnovers though. Backcourt pressure is killing the Deacs.
Wake Forest is 4-15 from the field and 1-6 from three 7 minutes in.
Feel the Noles have sped the Deacs up a bit offensively. Two turnovers and a couple of ill-advised shots. Wake will also need to match the physicality that FSU is bringing early. Deacs just 2-for-9 from the field.
Strong start for FSU, which is on a 10-0 run at the moment after Wake jumped ahead 5-0. https://t.co/cjgf9aEo3T
10-0 run for Florida State in the last 2:43 after Wake opened the game with the first 5 points. Deacs 0 for last 6.
UVA's next game is Saturday's trip to Wake Forest. So, relevant reading: https://t.co/XwIOxXx1G0
Final: UM women cruise past Wake Forest 77-47. Jasmyne Roberts 9-of-11 for 21 pts. Lemyah Hylton 11 off the bench. UM with season-high 13 blocks, forced 19 turnovers. Canes are 11-3. Interviews, game recap to come. @HeraldSports @MiamiHerald @CanesWBB #ACC #GoCanes
