ESPN Matchup Predictor: 56.8% chance to win
The Deacs are back in the Joel to play a very winnable game against the Boston College Eagles. Wake and BC have been pretty similar this year. Both have just 1 ACC win which was an upset over a ranked team, both have an outstanding point guard who is leading the team, and both have a couple of horrible losses on their schedule(HBU and GW for us, IUPUI and Hartford for BC). The player to watch in this game is obviously Ky Bowman, who is averaging 20.8 points per game on 46% shooting (44% from 3), 9.6 rebounds, and 3.8 assists in conference play this season. The Deacs will have to slow him down to come away with the win.
