Danny Manning is in his 5th year at Wake Forest and still looking for a season where he can get his Demon Deacons to a winning record in the ACC. The 2016-17 campaign saw Manning get his team to a 9-9 record in the ACC. Currently Wake sits at 7-6 overall and 0-1 in the ACC. Wake has struggled this year and against Duke could turn things around for Manning and crew.
Wake starts one 5th year senior, one Junior, two sophomores and one freshman. The Demon Deacons are led by a trio of double figure scorers. Brandon Childress leads the team with 17.
