Since losing 2 straight around Thanksgiving, the Demon Deacons have played great ball. On the road since then, they beat Gonzaga, lost by 1 to Miami FL, crushed UNC and lost by 20 to Duke. The Duke score is misleading, as they were tied with 12 mins to go. I've been very impressed with their balance inside and out. Now if Wake can just handle the ball, and get up shots rather then turning it over, they will be a top 3 or 4 in the ACC end of the year. Minus a big home win vs Duke, I don't know what G-Tech has done to get themselves ranked in the top #25? I think Wake's body of work has been more impressive, and Wake sits ahead in the ACC standings. G-Tech's 3 conference wins have been by a combined 8 points. G-Tech's leads are never safe with their constant struggles from the charity stripe. I expect the Deacons will try to force the tempo, and speed things up. Sure G-Tech has shown the ability to press and score, but they prefer the game in the 60's.
