They made it way harder than it needed to be and still lots to clean up but glad they fought and gutted it out. 13-2, 2-0 in the ACC. Couldn't ask for much more to start the Jai Lucas tenure. Really happy with him so far. Gotta keep it rolling. Canes didnt have a single Road ACC win last yr and already got one this yr in their first one

Quality win, Wake is a middling team, but we need to beat these middling conference teams on the road if we want to compete to make the NCAAT. Reneau and Donaldson are legit potential all conference players and the rest of the pieces complement them relatively well... EXCEPT for the unfortunate lack of 3 point shooting. Nijel Pack would help so much on this team.

Agree. Pack is having a career year this season. Shooting over 40% from 3 and a career high.

Happy with the road win! This team this year seems to find a way. You just never know what it will be from us. Went 4-18 (22%) from 3 but 23-30 (77%) from the line today.

They were good looks from 3 too. Most were wide open. Sometimes they looked surprised how open they were and hesitated. This seemed to be a conscious decision by Wake to just let us hoist. We need to start hitting them.

We somehow overcame Reneau foul trouble and 4/18 shooting from 3

I don’t think we appreciate just how well this team is rebounding. 37-20 advantage on the glass tonight. That’s a stark contrast from the last couple seasons where we couldn’t rebound against a team of grandmas. Total turnaround with toughness and physicality with Lucas. Udeh was a beast tonight.

I don’t think Nijel would fit with this team. He would be a defensive liability on a team that can’t afford that.

Good win, but the defensive rotations were uncharacteristically bad tonight. Lots of missed communications and leaving guys wide open. Wonder what happened.

Hey don't put the last 2 games on me! Lol overall he's had the best year of his long college career. Would be nice to have him. Anyone see Nwoko this season? He's going off! That would been nice to have too.
