The Virginia Cavaliers play their second straight road game, facing off against the 6-10 Wake Forest Demon Deacons. Wake is 1-5 in the ACC, with its lone home win being over Syracuse. None of their losses are bad, though certainly would’ve liked to beat Virginia Tech at home. Wake has just one top-100 win, coming over Illinois in the ACC/Big Ten challenge. They’ve lost to Liberty (KenPom 177), Georgia Southern (112) and Drake (164). The Deacons have lost five straight, including a Thursday night loss at NC State.
This Wake Forest team is a strong offensive unit who not only can spread the floor with shooters, but who also have two 7-footers that can play in the middle.
