Wake Forest coach Steve Forbes: "We had a consistent defensive effort. We didn't foul. We had five kills in the second half, and our defense was better than our offense."
Wake Forest ended the game on a 14-2 run, hitting their final six field goal attempts. Here's the final boxscore. https://t.co/iyNYMEXG5N
Wake Forest leads this team wearing red from New Jersey by the same score that it beat the team wearing red from New Jersey earlier this week.
Wake Forest just got its 6th kill of the game. One more for the goal and to probably end this thing.
Wake Forest is up 55-49 with 10:19 left. Still not sure if the energy in here is nervous or sleepy. The score is disconcerting; the most-concerning part is how many 50-50 balls Wake Forest is getting beaten for. Can probably pencil in that quote now.
Norfolk State has now won three straight games. Those come against opponents from the A10, CAA, and Missouri Valley. Tonight, they led Illinois State wire-to-wire in the Redbirds biggest game of the season. Jamarii Thomas had 31 points as NSU moved to 7-3. Behold the 💚 & 💛.
Matthew Marsh's shrug at the bench after hitting that was funny. Wake Forest leads 38-32 at halftime. That was ... not Wake's best effort. It looked like it when it was 29-14. Not so much for the last 8 minutes.
Matthew Marsh hits his first career 3-pointer at the buzzer to give Wake Forest a 6-point halftime advantage. Pretty confident coach Forbes will have a lot to say to the squad over the next 15 minutes. https://t.co/u5vx6kAd6C
10-0 Wake Forest run, as the Deacs have opened up a 29-14 advantage with 7:58 left in the first half.
Can't tell if it's nervous or sleepy energy in the Joel right meow. Wake Forest is 2-for-5 on pump-fake, step-back 3s. Leads 16-13.
Wake Forest starts this game off by forcing three turnovers. So, there's "kill" No. 1.
Wake Forest coach Steve Forbes sticks with the same starting five from earlier this week, with Efton Reid coming off the bench. Starting five are Cam Hildreth, Hunter Sallis, Boopie Miller, Andrew Carr & Zach Keller.
