After a close call at UNC Greensboro last Friday, the Wake Forest basketball team had the week off to take exams and to think about how they almost let one slip away. They’ll be back in action Saturday night in Cincinnati, as they take on #17 Xavier in a difficult true road game (8:00 FS1). Xavier, like Wake, is 8-2 on the season with road losses at Baylor and Colorado four days apart in the beginning of December. Their best wins to date are against Clemson in an early season tournament and vs Utah last weekend in Cincy.
Looking at their play so far this season using the advanced stats at KenPom.
