Wake Forest Demon Deacons to Face North Carolina Tar Heels at Dean Smith Center

As the Wake Forest Demon Deacons prepare to face off against the North Carolina Tar Heels at the Dean Smith Center, fans can anticipate an exciting matchup. The Demon Deacons have been showcasing a strong performance trend, as evidenced by their recent games.

In their last three outings, Wake Forest has consistently outscored their opponents. Their offensive prowess was on full display against Presbyterian Blue Hose with a commanding 91 points finish, including an impressive 57 percent success rate from beyond the arc. This high-scoring trend continued against Delaware State Hornets and N.J.I.T. Highlanders, where they scored 88 and 83 points respectively.

The team's shooting efficiency has been remarkable; they've maintained over a 55 percent field goal percentage in each of these games. Additionally, their two-point conversion rate has been notably high – peaking at nearly 64 percent against N.J.I.T.

Defensively, Wake Forest has shown its capability to disrupt plays and secure rebounds. They've averaged over seven steals per game in recent matchups while also maintaining a positive assist-to-turnover ratio – indicating smart ball handling and playmaking abilities.

One area of concern could be free throw accuracy which dipped to about 62 percent in one of the past games but was countered with an exceptional performance of over 90 percent in another game.

Playing away at the Dean Smith Center may pose its challenges for Wake Forest; however, if they maintain their current form and capitalize on turnovers as they have done recently—averaging around twenty points off turnovers per game—they stand a good chance of putting up a competitive fight.

Fans eager to catch this thrilling encounter should mark their calendars for January 23rd when these two teams clash on ESPN channel number 206. The action is set to unfold at Chapel Hill's iconic venue known for its vibrant atmosphere that could influence the flow of the game.
