The newly No. 3 Virginia Cavaliers are coming off of their first loss of the 2018-19 season, but have a chance to return to their winning ways as they welcome the Wake Forest Demon Deacons to John Paul Jones Arena.
Wake’s head coach Danny Manning was a great college basketball player, pretty much single-handedly leading Kansas to a national title in 1988. As a head coach, though, he has not been great. His overall record is 100-111. He’s 21-56 in the ACC over four-plus seasons.
This year’s Demon Deacon squad is very young. Six players average over 20 minutes per game, and that group includes three freshmen and two sophomores.
