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.
Good win for Florida State. Leonard Hamilton has some dudes, just a matter if he can get them to gel.
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.
Never any doubt @FSUHoops https://t.co/zgFnYFS5Wz
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
