Keep in mind that Wake has 2 fouls to give once State gets the ball back for the final possession
Horne 29, Sallis 27 ... Wake 60, State 59.
DJ Horne has as many points as Wake Forest won the last two games by.
Wake gets the score-stop-score they desperately needed. Think this next lineup is where you can make a run
DJ Horne is above his average of 25 points in the last three games with 26 points against Wake Forest. There’s 11 minutes left.
If it wasn't for DJ Horne, Wake Forest would be on its way to a third straight 29-point win. #BzdelikLogik
Horne is obliterating Wake again. Very chippy out there, but Wake staying connected via Hunter Sallis going off as well. Gotta get stops.
Every turnover is nauseating. The defense has been fine, Wake has given up at least double digits solely on live ball turnovers
Wake Forest has improved 102 spots from the initial NET rankings on December 5th. 1️⃣3️⃣4️⃣ ➡️ 3️⃣2️⃣
Wake Forest moves to #22 in KenPom. From 41 to 22 in two games by overwhelming Syracuse and Georgia Tech. Hell yeah 🎩
Wake Forest beats Georgia Tech 80-51. Second straight 29-point win for the Deacons; first road win since Jan. 2 at Boston College. Six WF players in double-figure scoring, led by Cameron Hildreth's 17. Next is a revenge chance, home against N.C. State on Saturday.
Wake Forest beats GT in Atlanta 80-51. Now on KenPom watch. Should be close to top 25.
Wake Forest snaps a road losing streak, pummeling Georgia Tech 80-51. Wasn't ever really close after the first maybe 5 minutes of the game
#GaTech falls 80-51 to Wake Forest.
GT with nine straight misses, Damon burns a timeout, Wake only leads 65-28 because they are missing all their shots as well. 9:30 remaining.
Wake Forest with 14 assists on 22 made buckets thus far.
Halftime: Wake Forest 46, Georgia Tech 20 Georgia Tech shot 4-for-29 from the field. Partially from great defense, and partially from just not executing well. Everyone has had their moments from Wake, but Andrew Carr has been the best player on the court in his 16 minutes imo
Tech trails 46-20 to Wake Forest at the half. The worst half of basketball this season including the debacle at Cincinnati for the Jackets. https://t.co/3KKEFEr4rC
You can see the push from Wake's coaching staff to not get complacent to end this half. Think they want to push this as close to 30 as they can
This is a both things are true moment at its finest Wake's defense has been absurd GT has been impossibly bad shooting tonight https://t.co/yLE9vl64oV
Sure, the misses might be affecting my judgement a bit, but this feels like the most suffocating defense Wake Forest has put forth all season. Just incredible.
Wake Forest is up 29-5. Georgia Tech has as many turnovers, one more foul than points.
Andrew Carr block, two-man game with Efton and Sallis. It's been very easy for Wake so far
Wake Forest is on a 23-0 run 🔥🔥 https://t.co/Hm52Cd9PLM
Whew buddy this one might get ugly if GT refuses to - Make a shot - get a rebound. Wake has 15 out of 21 rebounds in the half
8 minutes in the points per possession are: Wake 1.17 Tech .176
Wake leads 20-3 right now. Pondering going home if this is how GT is going to play tonight. My effort will equal their effort. 20-0 run.
18-0 run for Wake
Now a 13-0 run, 13-3 Wake leads. GT 1-9 shooting so far.
Could not ask for a much-better start for the Demon Deacons. Every starter has two points as Wake leads 10-3.
Defense from Wake has been very good, even with the 3 (was a good contest) GT has let Wake get 5/7 rebounds and get into transition. Pretty much what Wake has done in ACC first halves all year
Always nice to be home Wake Forest will take on Georgia Tech in about 30 minutes https://t.co/uxPupweLMO
