we did play better vs. Wake this second time around, especially the first half (very good 2nd qtr.). Team got a little sloppy in the 2nd half but it's difficult to focus when your blowing out a team by 30 points.

As for Clemson, I thought we would've won that game at Clemson if Magarity didn't get into foul trouble. I've never been worried about playing the 2nd round vs. a rested team with a bye. It's the 3rd round that concerns me. I almost think it's an advantage to play the day before since you're used to the court and tournament routine. Mabrey will have hit some 3's and the rest of the team needs to play like they did today in order to beat Clemson. Today's game was the best case scenario with a first round blowout win allowing our main players to get some 2nd half rest. I honestly don't expect a loss to Clemson tomorrow.
