A game that was probably way too close but still ended happily for Wake Forest, Danny Manning's second true road win of the season was imperfect but certainly a positive indicator of development in this mostly young squad.

Devin Thomas. The senior was once again a linchpin, racking up 23 points (9-16 shooting, 5-9 from the line), 17 rebounds, 3 blocks, and 3 assists. Admittedly, he had a team high and game high 7 turnovers, but that's hardly a knock given the rest of the performance he put forth.
