Wake Forest's loss to Notre Dame was a trap game you could see coming from a mile away. The tough part is, unlike prior road losses, it's harder to pinpoint what the Deacs did wrong. Simply, the shots didn't go. The Irish dragged Wake Forest into the mud in the second half, and the team fell right into the trap.
Fortunately, it's not a crushing defeat. Wake Forest still has its tournament destiny in its hands. Virginia Tech is a tough matchup, mostly because it's on the road. The Deacs beat the Hokies by 23 at home. Can Wake Forest finally carry their brand of basketball outside of the Joel?
The "put up or shut up" time has come for Wake Forest. To make the NCAA Tournament, sometimes you just need to go snatch a win, and the Deacs need to do it on the road.
