The Wake Forest Demon Deacons were done no favors by the ACC schedule makers. The Deacs opened up conference play with a trip to Lousiville, and a home contest against Duke. Wake played good basketball for probably 65 of the 80 total minutes, but still walked away with an 0-2 record in league play. Now, the Demon Deacons sit at 9-5, and host a Sunday night contest against in-state rival North Carolina State, who is also 0-2 in league play. This game is going to be a battle, and it is a must-win for both sides.
If Wake Forest wants to make the NCAA Tournament, then they simply have to beat State on Sunday.
