-KenPom projected score: 81-78 UNCG (highest scoring game we have left)
-Wake Forest win probability: 43% (our truest remaining 'coinflip' game)

When Wake has the ball:
-It's the #148 offense against the #296 defense (ADVANTAGE: OFFENSE)

When UNCG has the ball:
-Its the #140 offense against the #239 defense (ADVANTAGE: OFFENSE)

Wake tempo? 90th fastest nationally. UNCG tempo? 7th fastest nationally. (ADVANTAGE: OFFENSE) (KenPom projection ~160 points starting to make sense...)

Other interesting observations from UNCG's page:
-#2 nationally in defensive rebounding. This shouldn't matter, since we don't get offensive rebounds anyway (we're 256th)
-#345 nationally in defending without fouling. This could be huge for us, since drawing fouls is one of our best skills (10th nationally)
-Not much height; tallest player is 6'8. Closest guy they have to a space-eater is a 6'5, 240 frosh
-Top 2 players (#15 Trevis Simpson and #3 Derrell Armstrong) are both very efficient from 3 point range
-Best big is #24 Kelvin McNeil. Listed at 6'8 230, has been a great rebounder this year, on both ends
-Play at UNCW tonight, as a 1 point underdog
-Currently 1-6 against D1 competition

What say the boards experts? Do the Deacs clearly establish Triad Supremacy this weekend, or do they drop back below .500?
 
I think we win the Triad Commander & Chief trophy with a convincing 7 point victory.
 
Wake wins by eight. Wellman fans are riding high. We get another three wins to put us at nine wins for the season. Three kids transfer at the end of the season. Bz is given another year.
 
Very simply, there should never be a season that we don't beat UNC-G by fifteen.
 
The game starts at a rapid pace with CJ trading baskets with Trevis Simpson. After being tied at the 15 minute mark, UNCG goes on a run draining 4 straight 3's while Wake looks confused. [Redacted] goes to the half with an injured hand from incessant clapping. In the second half, "Baby Mamba" explodes topping his previous career high of 36 by dropping 39 on the Deacs. Many of these points come from breaking the press that wake implements without having given sufficient practice time. Post game presser includes Bzzzz telling the press that Saturday's are tough because Fridays are his most intense yoga day and he is sore as a bitch on Saturday AM. When asked about his injured hand he looks blankly and tells the media it's a non issue because his ties are clip-on so it won't impact how he dresses for the next game-

UNCG- 87 Wake- 65

There was never any hope...
 
We have far too much talent for this game to be close. But then again, we do have the handicap of our Buzz.

I expect a William and Mary/Mercer type game where the Deacs pull it out in the last 5 minutes.

Wellman and Buzz will celebrate in the media like it is their Superbowl knowing its their last weakly scheduled nonconference powerpuff to hide behind for the season.

hey guys, let's simply get behind the team on Saturday and cheer them to a win. Cut the sarcasm, please...it's Christmas!
 
We win by about 10. UNCG is terrible, but we're not exactly sweeping the competition either.
