WBB vs Wake Forest First Round ACC

Edited to change the title. I think the comments about last weeks game are still good for this one.

Hokies vs Wake Forest at 3:30 Wednesday Mar 6 in Greensboro. GAme is on Raycom.

Winner plays Clemson at 6PM Thursday. Also on Raycom.

The Lady Hokies play Wake Forest at Cassell at 2 PM Sunday Mar 3. Last regular season game. The game is on ACCNE.

The ACC Tournament starts Wed with the same strange seeding system as the men. The Hokies are currently tied for 10th with UVA and Duke and I think they hold the tie breaker over both. Beat Wake and we get the 10 seed, which means we play Wake again on Wednesday. Lose to Wake and we could still get the 10 seed. UVA will probably lose to Notre Dame and Duke should lose to UNC; but Duke and UNC is a rivalry game and UNC is not that much better than Duke. If we end up as the 11 seed we would play Pitt. The 10 seed plays at 3:30 on Wednesday; the 11 seed plays at 6:30. Both games will be on RSN. The 10 seed would probably play Clemson or UNC at 6PM Thursday. The 11 seed would probably play FSU at 8PM Thursday.

Wake Forest Roster

Two players on that Roster will not play. McKenna Frank was an early season walk on, who is no longer listed on the roster. And Elisa Penna, possibly their best player and only senior, is out for the season with an injury.

Wake Forest Season Stats

I could not find Conference only stats for Wake.

Wake is a young team and has struggled mightily in the ACC this year. Their only win was against LOLUVA at Charlottesville 52-42 on Jan 27. LOLUVA shot 26% from the field and 15% from 3 and only 9-16 on FTs. Wake only makes 4 3pt shots per game shooting 30%. And they average 39% shooting overall. Their top 2 scorers average 12.7 and 11.9 points per game and that includes the early season out of conference games. Wake is the only school I could not find ACC stats for; but I would guess they aren't doing that well in conference.

This should not be a tough game for the Hokies if they can maintain their concentration. Should be a good game for the seniors last game at Cassell.

Hey! It goes beyond big brother in the sky
Beyond the threat of martial law, No Horus eye
No one came to cuff you they just handed you the chain
Blind follows the blind and now the one-eyed man is king
