Recent Performance Trends


Analyzing the recent performances of the Wake Forest Demon Deacons reveals a team that has shown resilience and determination. Despite facing tough competition, they have managed to display moments of brilliance. In their last game against the Virginia Cavaliers, although they fell short with a score of 75-83, their performance was commendable. The team showcased a remarkable 70 percent shooting accuracy from two-point range and dominated in points in paint with 52 points.


This trend of strong offensive play was also evident in their previous match against Notre Dame Fighting Irish where they emerged victorious with a score of 74-71. Their flawless free throw percentage (100 percent) and significant bench contribution underscored a well-rounded team effort.

Key Factors for Success


For Wake Forest to secure victory against Georgia Tech, maintaining high shooting efficiency will be crucial. Their ability to convert opportunities inside the paint has been a significant strength this season and will likely play a pivotal role in this matchup. Additionally, minimizing turnovers and capitalizing on fast break opportunities could tilt the game in their favor given their recent success in these areas.


Defensively, Wake Forest needs to focus on limiting Georgia Tech's scoring chances by strengthening their perimeter defense and contesting shots aggressively without fouling. Given that rebounding has been inconsistent, improving box-outs and securing defensive boards will prevent second-chance points for Georgia Tech.
