Noteworthy
... Wake's 40 points tied for the second-fewest by a Deacon team since the ACC was formed in 1953-54; the only time Wake has scored fewer points over the last 53 years was a 44-34 loss at North Carolina on Jan. 8, 1959; the last time WFU scored 40 points in a game came on Jan. 23, 1999 in a 52-40 home loss to North Carolina
... Wake Forest's 19 second-half points were the fewest point in any half by a Skip Prosser-coached Deacon team
... Deacon freshman Casey Crawford did not dress out tonight; he has an undisclosed medical condition and is out an undetermined amount of time (how is that for being vague?)
... Wake Forest used its seventh different starting lineup combination of the season as Kevin Swinton started for the first time since Nov. 17th and Michael Drum started for the first time since Dec. 29 at South Florida
... Wake Forest scored just 21 first-half points -- the fourth time since Dec. 22 the Deacons have scored 22 points or less in a half
... Wake's starting five scored a combined 12 points in the first half
... Wake Forest has made a three-point field goal in 476 consecutive games
