ACC Roundup - Hokies Win, But Deacs Are Becoming Dangerous

In Sunday’s ACC action, Virginia Tech beat Wake Forest 64-60 and here’s the thing about that game: Wake Forest looked like an ACC team.

It’s been awhile.

Danny Manning is a good man but his teams lacked heart and certainly a killer instinct. They tended to fade at the end of games.

Not this Wake team.

The Deacs were in this game until the end and were down just 57-55 with 0:46 to go.

We thought that since Wake’s Steve Forbes has the most game experience against Virginia Tech’s Mike Young that Wake might exceed expectations but we didn’t see them in a position to win.
