Wake accepts underdog role

Wake Forest player L.D. Williams accepted the underdog role in Saturday’s NCAA Tournament second-round game against Kentucky.

“I mean, it is what it is,” he said. “You’ve got to call a spade a spade. They’re the one-seed. We’re the eight-seed. I don’t know. I don’t see any differences in when we play higher-seede eteams.

“Obviously, we’ve had our shortcomings, but when the lights are on, I feel like for the most part we’ve arrived to the challenge.”
