Hope we come out strong, focused and don’t get hurt with fouls. We’ll need good defense, their best player, Grace Oliver is an excellent shooter from both the 3 (.375) and from inside the arc (.743) averaging 14.3 points/game. LGO!

Our defense has been solid all season...starting with the pressure our guards place on the perimeter. As long as #44 stays on the floor, out interior defense and rebounding will be good. The key for this team to make some noise in the ACC will be: 1) Limit turnovers and 2) Improved 3 point shooting. Let's go Orange

Wake is an improved team from last year. Watched the Miami game they lost, they played very phyiscal in the paint and some flopping. Uche will some help on the boards to stay out of foul trouble. Hope refs call a fair game.
