Two games this week that really should be a good test of the progress the program has made. BC and Wake aren't good teams. They're the worst teams in the ACC. We've made progress this year and if we want to solidify that movement from bottom tier to mid tier, we're suppose to win games like this. Even though its on the road, we "should" win both games. But as we've seen with college basketball as a whole this year, anything is possible.

Comfortable win up at BC tonight. Balanced scoring all around.

Got the win at Wake, 81-74. We maintained a 5 to 8 point lead pretty much all game but WF had some moments where they made it close. Justin Robinson has really come on over the last month and a half. He and Clarke could be quite the duo for us going forward.

This win guarantees us a .500 overall regular season record for like the first time in 5 years. The win also locked down a 1st round bye in the ACC tournament. We can still finish strong with home games against Pitt and Miami and do some damage in the ACC tournament but whatever happens, this has been a rousing success for us. Buzz has done wonders in just 2 years.
