Wake Forest edged by Virginia Tech, 87-83
The No. 25 Wake Forest Demon Deacons came up just short in an 87-83 loss to the Virginia Tech Hokies.
It was a fantastic basketball game that was close right down to the wire, with the Hokies making a couple of plays down the stretch.
Trailing by a handful with under a minute left, Wake Forest continued to battle and eventually cut it to a one possession game.
Having Ishmael Smith’s blazing speed and quickness is a huge asset in late game situations because he can get from one end to the other and score with little time coming off the clock.
Still, it was too little, too late from Wake Forest, who now falls into fourth place in the conference.
