It wasn’t enough that Wake Forest wanted to keep playing, they needed to win. Win they did, against a scrappy Navy team coming into Winston-Salem. Now the competition takes a step up with Illinois State comes to play in the second round on Sunday Afternoon. With a win, Wake Forest could host one more game in the Joel against the winner of Dayton and UNC Wilmington. But for Wake right now, it’s one game at a time.
