Wake beats Duke by double digits

[Great 2BA FL Gator]

I didn't get to see the game, but are you kidding me? Now that makes these last five games look a little tougher.. I hope we don't limp into the post season. We have some tough games ahead against teams that we normally struggle against...

Wake added on at the end...Game was much closer than that.

Duke got in major foul trouble and struggled from the FT line themselves.

I was worried about this game and am not surprised at all that they lost.

Henderson's wrist injury, which plagued him in the MD game, needs to get better fast.

When a team shoots 53% from the line and 8-23 from 3 a team should not win.

It was GREAT to see 5 Dukies foul out as they were losing!!!! Also great to see the Terp women beat Duke at Duke. Great gift for Brenda with the birth of her boys this morning. I love seeing Duke lose in anything!!!

Does this help Wake's chances at a bid?

The ACC needs a fifth team.

It definitely helps over .500 in the ACC and now with a marquee win.

Tough to say...Their RPI was 80 coming into this game...Obviously it will go up after today and it will go up after playing UNC, win or loss.

They do now have 3 top 50 RPI wins and 6 in the top 100.

There loss at Vandy is a good loss but they got killed at UGA, who have really struggled.

They have a good win vs BYU and now the Duke game.

They are certainly on the outside looking in. IMO, they must beat MD and NC St at home, beat at least one of VT or GT on the road and play well vs UNC. If Lawson isn't healthy for that game, Wake could cause a lot of problems for the Heels.

If they can go 9-7 in the league and get a win in the ACC tourney, i think they will have a chance.

I'll be rooting for them. As an ACC fan. And as a nod to Skip Prosser.

They are going to be tough to beat as the season goes along.

They are young, athletic, fast and James Johnson is a beast.

I think they have a great shot of hetting into the tourney....I think they will win at least 3 of their remaining games and have a good shot at beating UNC.

Truth be told, I kind of thought Duke may lose this game tonight...They have had a lot of emotional games as of late, Wake has been playing very well lately and have been great at home this year...Plus, national game at night and Henderson being effected by his wrist injury...Perfect storm for Duke to lose tonight.

The end of the season is not going to be easy by any standards. The only game I feel comfortable with is Va Tech at home, and even that is no gimme.

Then it's at Miami, where we haven't really played well since they joined the league.

At Wake, a young team playing well with a lot to play for.

Home against Clemson, who has given us a tough time since Purnell arrived.

And at UVA on Singletary's senior night.

This is not an easy stretch of games by any standard. MD needs to keep playing well to lock up an NCAA bid.
