The Deacs are off to a 3-0 start in back-to-back seasons for the first time in 70 years, which is a pretty remarkable stat. Of course, there hasn’t been much standing in Wake’s way. That’ll start changing this week with the team’s road game at App State (75th) before the true ACC gauntlet begins with five straight top-30 teams. Wake has looked very good in the early games, but it’s too early to draw any certain conclusions about how good this team is when they have yet to play a top-90 team.
That said, I figured it might be interesting to compare how Wake has performed in its three games so far with how it performed in its three “easiest” games last year.
