ESPN Matchup Predictor: ?

The Deacs have a massive game today in the ACC Tournament against a red-hot UNC team that has won 7 of their last 8 games. A win gives the Deacs a third Quad 1 win and likely sets them up with another shot at the Duke Blue Devils. The Tar Heels are playing their best basketball of the season, so Wake is going to get back to playing a high level of defense if they want to have a shot at ending UNC’s tournament hopes. Getting the double bye is great, but it’s going to feel like a pretty big waste if the Deacs are unable to win a single game in the tournament.

Go Deacs!
