Miscellaneous Notes

WFU's 18 steals tied for the fifth-most in Wake Forest history. It is the most in the Skip Prosser era and the most since January 31, 1991 when Wake had 19 against Winthrop.
Wake's 28-point halftime lead was its largest lead at intermission since Dec. 7, 2001 (56-24 vs. SC State)
Wake Forest has made a three-point field goal in 371 consecutive games
In the first half, Brown made just one two-point field goal
Brown's 18 first-half points were the lowest by a Deacon opponent in a half this season and its 47 points were the fewest by a Deacon opponent sinceCampbell scored just 47 on Nov. 25, 2000. WFU won that game by the same score, 86-47.
Every Wake Forest starter scored less than his season scoring average
The Deacons have held all 10 opponents to less than 50 percent shooting
