UNC starts a rare (for this season) two-game in-conference homestand tonight, hosting the Wake Forest Demon Deacons under first-year coach Steve Forbes. Wake hasn’t had the comfiest season, all in all, and have struggled mightily in conference play as they are still in search of Forbes’ first ACC win, but they’ve shown the ability to score (111 points against Delaware State in their first game), defend (holding Virginia to 30% three-point shooting), and they play hard for a team that’s very much at the beginning of a rebuilding process. UNC has been tested in every conference game they’ve played so far, and with most of Wake’s games so far being close as well, that very well could continue tonight.
