Correction On page nine of today's game notes, under 'Deacon-Wolfpack Connections,' there is a note about Wake coach Skip Prosser and NC State assistant coach Larry Harris previously going head-to-head when Prosser's Xavier teams went against Ohio University. Actually, it is NC State assistant Larry Hunter (not Harris) who coached at Ohio University.
