It's easy to forget now but Wake Forest won an NCAA tournament game in March, beating Texas. Now there are questions as to whether the Deacons will be the first ACC team to go 0-16.
How'd it happen?
The short version is sophomores Jeff Teague and James Johnson bolted two years ago and another sophomore, Al-Farouq Aminu, left after last season. They're all in the NBA. Put them in old gold and black and the ACC would have more than one top 25 team today.
Tony Woods, expected to be the Deacons' interior presence, was dismissed from the team and Chennault, their only true point guard, broke a bone in his foot the first game.
A recruiting class ranked eighth by some experts has been handed more than it can handle immediately. That was reinforced to Bzdelik recently when one of his freshman told him he didn't realize there were so many good players in college basketball.
