Wake Forest at North Carolina

January 10, 2026
img6:00 PM Eastern

The Wake Forest Demon Deacons will head to Tobacco Road and take on North Carolina. North Carolina is the #17 team in the country. North Carolina shoots 26 three's a contest, but makes just an average of 9 of them. The angle in this game looks like the Demon Deacons can get out on a lot of 3's, and perhaps they can make life tough defending out there. It is difficult to play a team that was on a 7-game winning streak, then lost its last game, and is looking to win today. Those are tough circumstances to overcome. Wake Forest got off to a miserable start at 2-5. They have definitely made strides, though. Wake Forest has become a tough team, 7-1 in its last eight games. Double-digits too much here. Make the play on Wake Forest.
