North Carolina's 5 Keys To Beating Wake Forest

Posted Jan 20, 2021
One thing Wake Forest has consistently done well this season is force turnovers, as the Demon Deacons' opponents average 15.4 per game. At the same time, Wake is No. 22 in the nation averaging 8.9 steals per contest, so its overall defensive approach has caused problems for opponents. Wake Forest also has been solid defending the perimeter. (Tar Heel Illustrated)
