When these teams last met at Wake Forest, Tech and Wake were sharing the cellar of the ACC. From this game, things changed for Wake who managed three more wins down the stretch, while Tech kept its strangle hold on last place. Wake is favored by 4 in this game and frankly I am surprised its not alot more with how Tech has fared in its last five games.
Wake is led by Codi Miller McIntyre (#0) a 6'3, 195 lbs junior guard who is averaging 14.7 ppg, 4.8 rpg, and 4.1 apg. He does have a weakness at the line, shooting only 63%, so if Tech wants to prevent easy baskets its not necessarily a bad thing to foul their top scorer.
There is only one more Demon Deacon in double figures this season, Devin Thomas (#2), a 6'9, 245 lbs junior Forward. He is the Demon Deacons leading rebounder at 8.8 rpg while also contributing 11.7 ppg. We need to ensure that we get position inside of Thomas to prevent offensive rebounds with easy put back opportunities that he thrives on.
Danny Manning brought in a big surprise from Greece this season in Konstantinos Mitoglou, (#44) a 6'10, 225 lbs freshmen Forward. Mitoglou has averaged 9.6 ppg and 4.5 rpg as a freshman this season.
In our last game against Wake, we only lost by three, and we had six scorers in double figures in the 73-70 final that came down to two missed shots at the end of the game. The three Wake Forest players discussed above all had big games, with McIntyre going for 19, Mitoglou for 15 and Thomas for 9. We held Wake to a pedestrian 28% from behind the arc, actually below their normal average.
Mitchell Wilbekin (#10), a 6'1, 175 lbs freshmen Guard also put up 15 in that game for the Demon Deacons in that game.
I will be honest and say I have no idea which Virginia Tech team will show up today at 3. If its the one that gives up 10-15 points uncontested to start a game than this will be a long afternoon but a quick end to their season. If its the one that shows up for big games, than they could easily put Wake Forest behind the eight ball and get a tournament win.
No score prediction today. Lets hope the Hokies go out and want it today.
