WAKE FOREST DEMON DEACONS (15-6, 7-3 ACC)
Head Coach: Steve Forbes (5th Season)
DEMON DEACONS REPORT
Forbes’ Wake Forest squad won six-straight games to kick off the new year, but has since dropped its last two games against Duke and then Louisville.
Wake ranks third in the ACC in blocks per game, second in field goal percentage defense, and first in three-point percentage defense. The Deacons force the second-most turnovers per game in the league. Offensively, they only make six three pointers per game, good for 17th in the ACC.
Hunter Sallis is the star, averaging 18.6 points per game. Alongside Sallis, the Deacons have Cam Hildreth and Tre’Von Spillers also averaging double-digit scoring numbers. The team only has one three-point shooter who is shooting above 33% from deep, and it is Omaha Biliew, who has only played in four games this year due to injury (and has attempted seven total threes).
Pitt is ranked No. 33 in the NET rankings, while Wake Forest is ranked No. 70 This is a Quad 1 opportunity for Pitt, and a Quad 2 game for Wake Forest.
