Wake Forest Demon Deacons to Face Pittsburgh Panthers at Petersen Events Center

As the Wake Forest Demon Deacons prepare to face off against the Pittsburgh Panthers at the Petersen Events Center, fans are eager to see if their team can maintain its recent momentum. The Demon Deacons have shown a mixed bag of results in their past games, but there are positive trends that suggest they could come out strong in this matchup.

In their last game against the Virginia Cavaliers, despite a loss with a score of 67-76, Wake Forest demonstrated resilience. They shot free throws at an impressive 82 percent accuracy and maintained a decent field goal percentage of 39. Their two-point shooting was particularly effective at around 46 percent. However, turnovers were an issue as they gave up possession nine times which translated into only five points off turnovers.

The previous game saw them victorious over the Clemson Tigers with an exciting scoreline of 87-77. This win showcased Wake Forest's ability to convert opportunities into points effectively; they had a higher field goal percentage of approximately 46 and capitalized on turnovers by scoring 14 points from them. Their fast-break performance was notable as well, contributing to their dynamic offensive display.

Going further back, Wake Forest secured another win against Boston College Eagles with an impressive scoreline of 85-63. The team excelled in field goals making over half their attempts (52 percent) and dominated in points from turnovers with a substantial contribution of 23 points.

These statistics indicate that when Wake Forest controls ball possession and maximizes scoring from turnovers, they can dominate games. However, consistency is key for them as fluctuations in performance have been evident.

The upcoming game is scheduled for January 26th at Petersen Events Center and will be broadcasted on ACC Network for fans who wish to catch all the action live from home or any other venue. With both teams looking to assert themselves early on, it promises to be an engaging contest filled with strategic plays and intense basketball action.
