Today was Wake Forest's not-so-secret scrimmage against Ohio State.
Here's the word: Wake Forest had six players score in double figures; made 13 3-pointers; had 19 assists; and recorded 13 steals.
I didn't get a score or box but ... have heard that the Deacons handled Ohio State.
My thoughts:
Though it's not a lot to go on, it does seem to confirm what we thought going into the season: This team is more balanced than last season, it's got more shooters and that's going to be a focal point. The steals number is huge -- Forbes mentioned sometime recently that he might want to use a little press with this team because there's so much speed in the backcourt and length on the wings, and I think that might've shown up here.
Also: I owe yall a practice report from this week. I've got all of the nuts and bolts of the practice written, have a short something on Bobi Klintman written, just writing the feature-lede about Damari Monsanto and then that'll be posted -- I'll link when it's up.
