The Demon Deacons have shown a mixed bag of results in their recent outings. In their last three games, they've experienced close contests with varying outcomes. Against North Carolina State's Wolfpack, Wake Forest narrowly missed victory with a two-point deficit (77-79), showcasing resilience by maintaining a strong free throw percentage of 82 percent but falling short on three-point attempts with only 33 percent success.


Their encounter with Pittsburgh Panthers was another tight game where they managed to score 79 points but allowed 81 points against them. Despite this loss, the team demonstrated an impressive field goal percentage of 51 percent and maintained consistency from beyond the arc hitting 37 percent of their threes.


In an earlier matchup versus Virginia Cavaliers' ranked squad, Wake Forest scored 67 points while allowing 76. Their shooting from the field dipped to just over 39 percent; however, they continued to excel at free throws with another solid performance at approximately an 82 percent clip.


Analyzing these trends suggests that while Wake Forest has been competitive in scoring and exceptional at free throws across these games, there is room for improvement on defense and from long range. The upcoming game presents an opportunity for them to leverage their strengths—particularly their accuracy from the charity stripe—and address areas that have challenged them recently.


Fans can catch all the action on ESPN channel number 206 as Wake Forest takes on Duke Blue Devils on February first at midnight UTC time (7 PM Eastern Time) at Cameron Indoor Stadium located in Durham, North Carolina.
