Can Wake Forest Demon Deacons Weather the Hurricanes at Watsco Center?

As the Wake Forest Demon Deacons prepare to face off against the Miami (FL) Hurricanes at the Watsco Center, fans are eager to see if their team can carry forward their recent momentum. The upcoming clash promises to be a test of resilience and strategy for both sides.

The Demon Deacons have shown a mixed bag of results in their recent outings. Despite a hard-fought battle against Virginia Tech, they fell short with 73 points against VT's 82, showcasing tenacity with a notable steal count of ten but struggling on personal fouls with twenty. Their shooting was consistent; however, they were outrebounded by eighteen boards which could be an area of concern.

In their subsequent game against Florida State Seminoles, the trend continued as they scored 61 points but allowed 73. While their assists-to-turnover ratio improved slightly to an even one, it was not enough to secure victory. Their field goal percentage dipped to thirty-seven percent and three-point shooting was down at twenty-six percent – areas that will need tightening up before facing Miami.

However, there is hope in the form of their performance against Marshall's Thundering Herd where they emerged victorious with 66 points over Marshall's 59. This game saw them improve defensively with seven blocks and maintain a solid field goal percentage at forty-seven percent. They also capitalized on second-chance points scoring ten compared to Marshall’s eight.

The venue could play a significant role as playing away from home always brings additional challenges; adapting quickly will be key for Wake Forest if they are going to overcome Miami’s home-court advantage.

Fans can catch all the action from this exciting matchup scheduled for January 7th at 19:00 (UTC+0) on ACC Network Extra via internet broadcast. Will Wake Forest continue improving statistically and claim victory over Miami? Only time will tell as we look forward to this thrilling encounter!
