Chris Jones is unreal tonight. Knocks down a jumper and makes the steal draws a foul, and knocks down free throws to secure the win. Wow, he came to play tonight. 20 points and 7 assists with 46.7 remaining. Cards have 9 point lead.

Devon Thomas has 30 points and 10 Rebounds for Wake Forest. They played about as well as they could. Just too much talent for the Cards. But you can see Danny Manning is working hard with Wake's players.

This score isn't indicative of how close this game actually was down the stretch. Wake ran out of gas at the end. 85-76 Final as Louisville gets their debut ACC win on the road.

Wake still clearly has a lack of talent, but it is clear that Coach Manning is coaching these kids up. Manning is also doing pretty well on the recruiting trail.
