Both teams have been performing well in their previous games, but it's the Wake Forest Demon Deacons who have been on a winning streak. Led by their standout player, Andrew Carr, the Demon Deacons have shown exceptional skills and determination on the court.


In their last three games, Carr has been a force to be reckoned with. He has averaged an impressive 21 points per game, along with 9 rebounds and 1 block.

His ability to score efficiently has made him a valuable asset for Wake Forest.


On the defensive end, Marqus Marion has been a standout player for the Demon Deacons. With his exceptional shot-blocking skills, Marion has averaged an impressive 5 blocks per game in the last three matchups. His presence in the paint will be crucial in deterring Syracuse's offensive plays.


While Wake Forest boasts some top performers, they cannot underestimate the talent of the Syracuse Orange. Judah Mintz has been leading his team with an average of 18 points per game, along with 4 assists and 4 rebounds.

Their ability to control the tempo of the game and capitalize on scoring opportunities has been key to their success.


On the other hand, the Syracuse Orange have shown resilience in their games, with an average of 70 points per game. However, they will need to step up their defensive efforts against the high-scoring Demon Deacons.
