It is harder to triple team in NBA since you can only triple team the 
guy with the ball.  Wake would have won if they could have stopped
Stanford defensively in the 2nd half (25-19 at half, then both teams score
47 in the 2nd half) even with the mugging of Tim Duncan.  I think we
do have players to support.  With a solid rebounder and defender (and
passer), all of our players (Fox, Walker, Dino, Eric, Wesley and even Day)
will look at LOT better.  Not saying title contender, but definitely solidly
in the playoffs (with a  reasonable coach, that is).
