Lucas: Rapid Reactions - UNC vs. Wake Forest

Posted Jan 22, 2022
North Carolina could never get enough stops to slow down Wake Forest, as the Deacs won a key Atlantic Coast Conference game in Winston. The 98-76 rout marked the first time since the 2001-02 season that the Tar Heels have suffered consecutive 20+ point defeats. Wake essentially only got offense from four players, but UNC couldn't stop that quartet. (GoHeels.com)
