When Wake Forest fans and Winston-Salem media turned on former Wake Forest coach Jeff Bzdelik, it was uglier and meaner than what’s happening now but make no mistake: they’ve both turned on his successor Danny Manning too.
It’s just going to get worse after the UNC massacre. Take a look at ESPN’s Game Flow chart: it opens wide as a two-tone pair of scissors. Wake Forest had 20 turnovers and shot just 32.8%.
By contrast, UNC hit 64% - from three point range - and 62.3% overall.
There might be lots of reasons why the Heels only got to the line 11 times (making a pathetic three of those attempts), but one of them is lousy defense - which also helps explain the extraordinary three point shooting.
