What to Know

The Charleston Southern Buccaneers have quite the challenge ahead of them as they're expected to be blown off the court. Their road trip will continue as they head to Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum at 7 p.m. ET Wednesday to face off against the Wake Forest Demon Deacons. They will be strutting in after a win while Charleston Southern will be stumbling in from a loss.

The Buccaneers have to be aching after a bruising 93-68 defeat to the Ole Miss Rebels last week. Charleston Southern got double-digit scores from four players: Deontaye Buskey (17), Kalib Clinton (12), Sean Price (10), and Tahlik Chavez (10).

Meanwhile, Wake Forest had enough points to win and then some against the Western Carolina Catamounts last Friday, taking their game 87-75. Wake Forest's guard Alondes Williams looked sharp as he had 32 points along with eight boards.

Charleston Southern is now 1-1 while the Demon Deacons sit at 2-0. A couple last-season offensive stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: The Buccaneers come into the contest boasting the 18th most points per game in college basketball at 65.5. Wake Forest displayed some offensive firepower of their own as they enter the matchup with a 41% field goal percentage, good for 33rd best in college basketball.
