Much as I feared the Tigers bench didn't contribute much against Wake in a 78-68 loss. The same bench that was lauded in earlier victories struggled to contribute against a top team. Jerai Grant went 1-8 from the field and scored 4 points in 15 minutes (though he did have 9 rebounds). Tanner Smith and Andre Young both went scoreless in a combined 24 minutes of action.
The Tigers also shot only 33.8% from the field, including 5 for 23 (21.7%) from 3 point range, not to mention another bad (55%) night from the free throw line. Add it all up and the Tigers were lucky to lose by 10.
It doesn't get any easier with a trip to UNC looming.
