Wake Forest (7-6, 0-1) came up just short of a major upset this past weekend when it allowed North Carolina to score the final eight points of the game to steal a 73-69 victory. Tonight it will get another chance to get its first “notch in the belt” type victory when the Syracuse Orange (12-2, 1-0) visit Winston-Salem.
The game will air on ESPNU at 7 PM and features two vastly different teams. As we all know, Wake Forest thrives on offense, where it has the 31st most efficient offense in the nation, but struggles immensely on defense, ranking 168th nationally.
