Vegas has Wake as a 6 point favorite tonight. Who has the line from KenPom?
 
Bonnies won big against Iona last time out 102-89 despite missing their leading scorer Matthew Wright (ankle). He is listed as questionable tonight. If he does not play, no player on their roster has more than 9 threes on the season. WF has 3 players with 10 or more threes, including Coron who has 27.

St. B is big (front line: 7-0, 6-8, 6-7; guards 6-3 and 6-4). They out rebound their opponents by 8 a game. They have more turnovers than assists, and do not shoot FTs (68%) well, but neither does WF (64%). They also have a ton of foreign players (5). This will be a solid test.

Don't mention Iona!!!! Plus, it's a Tuesday and you know what that means.
 
S Christmas break though, right?

You think that matters to Bzzz??? It's funny, the man just can't help himself. I listened to the radio show Thursday night and they were talking about all the turnovers against Richmond and Bzzzz says, " I really shouldn't say this, but we had guys studying for exams and professor's giving exams early and that really effected our guys focus." I mean he knew he shouldn't trot that out, but he couldn't help himself, lol.
 
We better win tonight because we have another powerhouse coming up in UNCG in four days.

We can mock the home schedule, but St. Bonaventure is a legitimate opponent (whom we should beat). UNCG, on the other hand, is absolutely atrocious and is on an entirely different stratosphere. They are projected to go 5-11 in the SoCon, while St. Bonaventure is supposed to go a respectable 8-8 in the A-10.
 
I'm psyched for this game and have been waiting for it for a week. Team has been playing pretty well and have been enjoyable to watch.
Good Wake Forest hoops has been a huge void and I can't help but fall for a fool's hope again.
 
5 with a 70% win probability. Worth noting that St. Bonaventure's leading scorer might still be out with an ankle injury.

Great! Another quality opponent handicapped with a key injury. If we get this lucky with 5 or 6 more games, then it'll be NIT here we come!
