What to Know

The Virginia Tech Hokies and the Wake Forest Demon Deacons are set to square off in an ACC matchup at noon ET Dec. 31 at Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum. Wake Forest will be strutting in after a win while the Hokies will be stumbling in from a loss.

It looks like Virginia Tech must have gotten on Santa's naughty list since the team didn't end up with the victory they were expected to receive last week. They were within striking distance but couldn't close the gap as they fell 70-65 to the Boston College Eagles. One thing holding Virginia Tech back was the mediocre play of guard Darius Maddox, who did not have his best game: he finished with ten points on 4-for-15 shooting in his 40 minutes on the court.

Meanwhile, Wake Forest was expected to lose against the Duke Blue Devils last Tuesday, but instead they received a nice stocking stuffer. The stars were brightly shining for Wake Forest in an 81-70 win over Duke. The Demon Deacons got double-digit scores from five players: guard Tyree Appleby (18), guard Cameron Hildreth (16), guard Damari Monsanto (13), forward Andrew Carr (10), and forward Matthew Marsh (10).

Barring any buzzer beaters, the Hokies are expected to win a tight contest Saturday. Those playing the odds have seen things go back and forth with Virginia Tech, who are 6-7 against the spread.

When the two teams previously met in December of last year, Virginia Tech lost to Wake Forest at home by a decisive 80-61 margin. Can Virginia Tech avenge their defeat, or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll soon find out.
