Can't See Wake Forest for the Trees:

Kentucky continued its juggernaut roll towards the Final Four by annihilating yet another opponent, this time Wake Forest, by 103-69.

Again, CBS cut away after only a few minutes play, when the score stood at 20-4. At the intermission, when UK held a 60-26 lead, about a third of the fans (Demon Deacon, of course!) left rather than watch more of the debacle. Jamal Mashburn had scored all of his 23 points by that time, including hitting on 5-5 from 3 point range. Mashburn did not play in the game's final 10 minutes - he wasn't needed!

Even though Wake hit on 6 of its first 7 shots, it trailed 34-14 as the Wildcats hit on their first eight 3 pointers. Gimel Martinez broke that string with a miss, but he made up for it by rebounding his shot and sticking it back in for a 2 point basket.

Wake's vaunted Rodney Rogers was never really a factor in this game, as he drew his 4th foul only 23 seconds into the second half, and managed only 14 point for the game.
