In their last outing, the Demon Deacons showcased a robust offensive performance against Appalachian State Mountaineers, securing an 87-76 victory. Their scoring was particularly impressive in the second half where they notched 51 points. The team's field goal percentage stood at 48 percent with a notable 55 percent from two-point range and a solid 33 percent from beyond the arc.


Wake Forest also excelled in drawing fouls and capitalizing on them, hitting free throws at an impressive rate of 81 percent. This ability to get to the line and convert could be crucial against Georgia Bulldogs' defense.


Defensively, Wake Forest managed six blocks and three steals while committing fewer personal fouils than Appalachian State. They dominated on rebounds with a total of 39 compared to Mountaineers' 31, which included both defensive (28) and offensive (6) boards leading to second-chance opportunities that resulted in additional points.


The venue has been favorable for Wake Forest; playing at home seems to give them an edge as seen by their previous game's attendance that brought energy into the arena. With this advantage, they will look forward to maintaining control of the game tempo and utilizing their home-court familiarity.


Fans can expect another strong showing as Wake Forest aims for back-to-back wins when they face off against Georgia Bulldogs on March 24th at Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum. The game is scheduled for a tip-off at 4:00 PM EDT and will be broadcasted live on ESPN2 for those who cannot make it in person.
