"Oh man, it's going to be emotional," Williams said. "We all came in together with high expectations, and through all the ups and downs and the trips and the falls, I wouldn't trade these four years for anything.

"Chas, Weave, Ish, I love those guys. And I'm going to miss playing with them. Our last game playing on this court (today) is going to be something special."

"It wasn’t anything like us bashing each other or guys pointing fingers,‘’ Williams said. "It was just like `Where is this team right now? Where are you individually? How are you feeling?’ And it was good. Ish, he sat us down and asked `Where is the confidence that I saw a few months ago? Where is the confidence that was here last month? Where is that? Do you lack confidence?’

GREENSBORO, N.C. - Three minutes into Thursday's second half, fifth-seeded Wake Forest had 17 turnovers, stood 0-for-10 in 3-point shots and trailed upset-seeking Miami by 11 points. What might have been an untenable trio for many teams became a motivational challenge for the Demon Deacons, who righted themselves and held on for a 66-65 overtime victory in an ACC Tournament first-round game.

Wake Forest [18-9 (8-7), RPI: 34, SOS: 31] The Demon Deacons' overall body of work suggests they will be included in the NCAA's 65-team field. But their current four-game slide might raise a few eyebrows with the NCAA selection committee. Wake Forest has five victories over RPI top-50 teams, beating Xavier, Maryland, Richmond and Georgia Tech at home and Gonzaga on the road. The Demon Deacons are 5-4 against RPI top-50 opponents and 7-7 against the top 100. The only way the Demon Deacons might not receive an NCAA at-large bid is if they end the season with a six-game losing streak. For that to happen, they would have to lose to Clemson on Sunday at home and lose their opening game in next week's ACC tournament. The Demon Deacons are 6-7 in road games and have two RPI sub-100 losses, losing at NC State on Feb. 20 and at Miami on Jan. 9.

Riley Skinner Blogs From the Combine

I feel good about how well the throwing went. I was a little nervous and started off a little shaky on the first couple of throws. But after I got into the rhythm, I felt like I was throwing the ball really well and putting the ball where it needed to be. It's an honor to be competing with guys like Colt McCoy (Texas) and Zac Robinson (Oklahoma State), Dan LeFevour (Central Michigan), and Tony Pike (Cincinnati). It's been an unbelievable experience for me. I'm just really blessed that I got the opportunity to come out here.

"It’s enough being nice. It’s enough saying some guys have got it. We’ve got to go to the crazed dog mentality right now, because our back is against the wall now. That’s where it’s at. We’ve got to find ourselves again. If it takes us having to go back to square one, that’s what it’s going to take. If it takes the coach sitting some guys, that’s what it’s going to take. But we’ve got to understand what it means to wear the Wake Forest Old Gold and Black again. We’ve kind of gotten away from that.‘’

Williams also fired a salvo at those who have already written the Deacons off this season.

"People can say what they want,‘’ Williams said. "They’re not in our locker room. They’re not out on the floor with us playing.

"There are a lot of naysayers. Those are the people that we have to weed out. We’re going to walk on campus on Monday with our heads held high, ready to get better. That’s the only thing we can do from here, get better. So all the people out there who want to nag us and count us out, that’s all right. That’s all well and fine. If we’re doing well, we don’t want you on the bandwagon.‘’

The respect is such that beating the Tar Heels never gets old.

"Yeah, you've got to try to beat them as many times as you can," Aminu said. "It's not good to lose to them when they're down. You might as well beat them. We've got to come out and handle business."

Deacons eager for tipoff

"My brother, last year he knew some players in the league who would say, ‘Man I had 20 last night. The NBA scouts are going to like that.' " Aminu said. "When you start thinking like that, you're only going to hurt your team, and it's only going to make you look bad.

"Like you can kind of pick up on it. You can look at a player and go, ‘He did that move right there just for a scout.' It kind of shows and then you're not even playing just for like the love of the game anymore. You're just playing for a scout.

"It's not even fun to watch anymore when you're doing stuff like that."
