Can Wake Forest Demon Deacons Soar Past Boston College Eagles at Conte Forum?
As the Wake Forest Demon Deacons prepare to face off against the Boston College Eagles at Silvio O. Conte Forum, fans are buzzing with anticipation. The upcoming clash on January 2nd promises to be a pivotal moment for WAKE as they look to continue their impressive form.
In their recent game on December 30th, the Demon Deacons showcased a dominant performance against the Hokies, securing an emphatic 86-63 victory. Their offensive prowess was on full display with a field goal percentage of 44 and an outstanding free throw completion rate of 90 percent. Moreover, WAKE's defense was impenetrable, amassing nine steals and three blocks while keeping turnovers low at seven.
The team's ability to capitalize on turnovers is noteworthy; they scored 23 points off turnovers in that game alone. With such statistics in mind, it's clear that if WAKE can maintain this level of play against BC, they will likely control the tempo and outcome of the game.
WAKE has been consistently outperforming their opponents in points scored within the paint as well as second-chance points. In their match-up with Presbyterian Blue Hose on December 21st, they tallied an impressive 38 points in paint and six second-chance points which contributed significantly to their commanding win of 91-68.
Their encounter with Delaware State Hornets earlier also highlighted WAKE's balanced attack and solid defense leading them to an assertive win by scoring 88-59. The team demonstrated excellent shooting efficiency from both inside and beyond the arc while maintaining a high assists turnover ratio of 1.67.
The upcoming contest will test whether WAKE can replicate these performances away from home soil against BC Eagles who will have home-court advantage at Conte Forum. However, given WAKE’s recent form and statistical dominance across various facets of play – including rebounding where they've shown superiority over past opponents – there is every reason for optimism among fans.
Looking ahead to January 2nd at Silvio O. Conte Forum in Chestnut Hill MA scheduled for tip-off at 7:00 PM EST; supporters eager not to miss any action should tune into channel number twelve ACC Network for national coverage or follow along via other broadcast networks available regionally or online streaming platforms where applicable.
