Virginia Tech looks to avoid two straight losses to Wake Forest in the second round of the ACC tournament in Brooklyn. The Deacons, despite being the 10th seed, are one of the hotter teams in the conference. They have won four straight – Pittsburgh, #5 Louisville, the Hokies in Blacksburg, and Boston College in the first round of the tournament.
The 7th seed Hokies will have the rest advantage over Wake Forest, as the Deacons played just 24 hours before their rematch against Virginia Tech. That could prove to be crucial. The Hokies have played just three games over the last twelve days.
