At the end of the telecast Sunday night of Wake Forest's 92-89 win at home against the once unbeatable Tar Heels, Mike Gminski commented that the victory could be a signature win for the young team.
Agreed. But Wednesday could bring an even bigger victory for the Demon Deacons. Too often, a young team shows who it really is after a big victory, not after a big loss.
The Deacs should certainly win at Boston College in what is a matchup between the two ACC guards, Jeff Teague and Tyrese Rice, who have dominated Ty Lawson. However, young teams have a tendency to drop games. And it is not just young teams, but teams coming off a big victory can have a letdown, as well.
Just ask the Eagles and what they experienced with a Harvard team that should have had no shot in last week's contest. After being the first team to strike blood from UNC, Boston College lost to the Crimson 82-70.
Tonight should give us an even stronger measure of what Dino Guadio has been able to construct in Winston-Salem. If the Deacs win, there is no reason that they do not set the tone and become the favorite for the ACC title in establishing they can win both the big games and the games they should win.
