Analyzing past performances, the Demon Deacons have shown resilience and capability. Despite a narrow loss to the Cavaliers with a final score of 47-49, Wake Forest demonstrated strong defensive prowess by limiting their opponent's field goal percentage to 41 percent and securing 38 rebounds. However, offensive efficiency was an area of concern as they only converted 34 percent from the field and struggled beyond the arc with a three-point percentage of just 24.


In contrast, during their encounter with Duke's Blue Devils, although outscored with a final tally of 69-77, Wake Forest improved offensively. They managed to increase their field goal percentage slightly to 39 percent while maintaining an impressive free throw accuracy at nearly seventy percent. Their points in the paint stood out at forty - showcasing an aggressive approach inside.


The most recent game against North Carolina State's Wolfpack saw Wake Forest emerge victorious with an impressive scoreline of 83-79. This win highlighted significant improvements; shooting percentages rose across all fronts - forty-eight percent from the field and thirty-eight percent from three-point range. Moreover, free throw precision was exceptional at eighty-one percent.


As we look ahead to this challenging away game against Virginia Tech Hokies at Cassell Coliseum – known for its vibrant atmosphere that could influence play – it is crucial for Wake Forest to maintain its offensive improvements while tightening up defensively against what promises to be tough opposition.
