Wake Forest hits new low in blowout loss to Louisville

The 96-77 loss that Wake Forest took on Saturday night to Louisville was expected, but for the first time in a long time the Deacs were simply uncompetitive in a conference game.

This was the first game where I felt like Wake Forest was back in the days of the previous coach, and those memories are simply not ones that I want to be reminded of.

After jumping out to a quick 17-8 lead behind sharp shooting, intelligent basketball, and intense effort on both ends, the Deacs completely fell apart, getting outscored the rest of the way 88-60, including a time when it was 82-51 Louisville, a 74-34 run in a 25 minute span from the 14 min.
