Virginia Tech controlled the regular season meeting, winning 82-63 and absolutely carving up Wake Forest’s defense to the tune of 1.35 points per possessions (a season-high for the Hokies). I’m not sure Wake Forest, a team that ranks 15th in the ACC in adjusted defensive efficiency in conference play, is going to have a lot of the answers they lacked when it comes to stopping Mike Young’s offense. Virginia Tech is clearly gutted from a tough loss four-point loss at Virginia over the weekend, but their slim tournament hopes can be kept alive with a deep run in the tournament. The Deacs could play this game closer than last month’s loss in Blacksburg, but this line doesn’t address the mismatch of that meeting.
