-- We need to figure this rebounding thing out. Prior to last night, Wake Forest had posted a sub-30 offensive rebounding percentage in five consecutive conference games, so their offensive rebounding had been non-existent for the better part of a month. But we're here to help!

-- Wake had its best offensive rebounding effort in conference play and its second-best effort all season. The Deacs scored 24 second chance points to our eight, and Jamie Skeen had nine offensive boards by himself.

-- Our last three games:

Awful.

-- That aside, I'm happy. The Deacs were again held to less than a point per possession on the road. We cooled off in the second half and ended up with a blah performance at the offensive end, but it was enough and that's what matters.
