The Duke-Wake Forest game this Wednesday was always going to be interesting but now it’s a lot more so.
Wake Forest has emerged as one of the better teams in the ACC and Duke has struggled in two games since Christmas after a Covid outbreak affected the entire team.
And unlike Georgia Tech and Miami, this game is on the road. And while the Joel has been somewhat muted in recent seasons as Wake has struggled, it’s a very tough place to play when it’s fully engaged.
Which it will be Wednesday night.
Steve Forbes has brought the dormant Deacs program back to life - Weak Forest is no more - and has some meaningful talent now too.
