In their last 3, Louisville won by more than we did against Miami. They lost by less than we did against NC State. The were within 5-7 points until the final 10 minutes at UNC despite shooting under 50% from the line. Shot over 40% from deep in all 3 games. Texas is almost identical to us per Kenpom and they only beat Louisville by 1 point early in the year.
UVA torched them by defending the 3 point line at home - Wake needs to do the same. Very concerned that we're coming off a massively disappointing loss, won't be able to help looking ahead to UNC on short rest, potentially playing a rusty Ituka who forced things last time he saw the court, and the metrics expectations are crazy high. Always a grudge match between these schools, early game crowd will probably be light to start. I just hate everything about this matchup. A quintessential trap game.
