After trailing by double-digits at halftime, Wake Forest came out in the second half and chopped into the lead.

Nikita Mescheriakov came off the bench to lead Wake Forest with 11 points. No other players reached double figures.

Wake Forest shot under 34 percent from the field and just over 16 percent from behind the three-point line.

Wake Forest could very well end up with just win in the ACC for the entire season, and they can thank Virginia from saving them from the embarassment of an 0-16 mark in conference play.

Despite a listless performance from North Carolina, Wake Forest trailed by 13 by halftime and never threatened the Tar Heels.

Head coach Jeff Bzdelik said that there were tears in the locker room and that they flow all of the time.

A lot of these kids were stars in high school and won a lot of games, so struggling like this is not something they are used to.

J.T. Terrell lead Wake Forest with 18 points, but it was little consolation after yet another ACC loss.

It doesn’t get much worse than this for Wake Forest, which was blown out at home by one of the ACC’s worst teams.

NC State had slipped to 11th place in the conference, but Wake Forest made them look like one of the country’s top teams.

They have to be so happy they found a way to beat Virginia, otherwise they easily could have gone winless in conference play.

Wake Forest finished with 15 turnovers for the fourth straight contest and has now lost 14 of their past 16 games.

In front of a sparse, unenthused crowd, the Demon Deacons fell behind in the opening minutes and never really threatened the Terps.

Wake Forest was sloppy with the ball, turning it over 18 times, and that lead directly to 24 Maryland points.

The 55 points scored by Wake Forest was their lowest output at Lawrence Joel Coliseum since 1999.

It’s going to be a long season for Wake Forest, which might be one of the worst ACC teams of the past decade.

Wake Forest’s offense has been a complete embarassment throughout the season, and Saturday was no different.

They fell behind by 20 points by halftime, and all three phases of the game deserved their share of the blame.

The Demon Deacons had two punts blocked just in the first half. That’s simply unacceptable at any level.

After years of doing more with less, it looks like Jim Grobe’s magic touch has worn off for at least one year.

The Demon Deacons have struggled all season long to score, particularly because of poor quarterback play.

Despite putting 21 points on the scoreboard, the play of quarterback Tanner Price was once again a major issue.

Price was just 3-16 for 92 yards in the ugly loss. You won’t win many games, if any, with that kind of play from your quarterback.

Running back Josh Harris was the big story, as he rumbled for 241 yards and two touchdowns on just 20 carries.

The Demon Deacons held an 11-point lead going into the fourth quarter but could not hold on for the win.

It’s a big disappointment considering how well the defense played against the triple option for three quarters.

Wake Forest yet again struggled with their passing game, but they did get the running attack untracked against GT.

Josh Adams lead the way with 20 carries for 101 yards and a touchdown. Devon Brown lead the Deacons with four catches for 54 yards receiving.

Grobe still doesn’t know who his starting quarterback will be just a month from the season opener.

There are three quarterbacks in the hunt for the starting job, and each of them brings something different to the table.

Because of their different styles of play, Grobe doesn’t have any idea what kind of offense his team will run, either.

The head coach should probably just hurry up and pick a quarterback so he can start tailoring the offense to his abilities.

Wake Forest unexpectedly fired head coach Dino Gaudio after just a few years in the position.

Gaudio had reluctantly taken over as head coach after the sudden death of close friend Skip Prosser.

Bzdelik has made a number of coaching stops in his career, some in college and others in the NBA.

He helped to turn around Air Force and make them a potential NCAA tournament team before leaving for Colorado.

Gaudio helped lead the team to two NCAA tournament appearances in his three years as head coach.

He was previously an assistant but took over under difficult circumstances following the sudden death of Skip Prosser.

The school said the team’s struggles late in the season and in the postseason was the basis for the firing.

Wake Forest has stumbled down the stretch in recent years after looking like a strong team early in the season.
