Since we have a long break between now and our next basketball game on Friday, I figured we could take a look back at the Deacs’ first win of the season and see what went right. Wake Forest shot 8-14 from beyond the arc in the first half, fueling them to a 44-22 lead at the break. The Deacs never looked back and coasted to a 72-55 win.
Wake was able to shoot so well from downtown in the first half by taking advantage of Quinnipiac’s screen defense. The Bobcats went under almost every screen, which gave our shooters plenty of space to step up and knock down easy triples.
