What to Know

The Wake Forest Demon Deacons' homestand continues as they prepare to take on the VMI Keydets at 7 p.m. ET Dec. 14 at Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum. The Demon Deacons are out to keep their seven-game home win streak alive.

Everything went Wake Forest's way against the South Carolina Upstate Spartans this past Saturday as they made off with a 79-53 victory. Wake Forest's guard Alondes Williams did his thing and posted a triple-double on 16 points, 14 boards, and ten dimes. That's Williams' first triple-double of the season.

Meanwhile, the Gardner-Webb Bulldogs typically have all the answers at home, but this past Saturday VMI proved too difficult a challenge. VMI narrowly escaped with a win as the squad sidled past Gardner-Webb 64-61. Kudos to the oddsmakers for accurately forecasting both the winner and the close margin.

This next game looks promising for the Demon Deacons, who are favored by a full 15.5 points. They have been consistent moneymakers against the spread when favored (6-2), so they might be worth a quick bet.

The wins brought Wake Forest up to 9-1 and the Keydets to 7-4. Two stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: Wake Forest enters the matchup with a 49.50% field goal percentage, good for 15th best in college basketball. But VMI have been holding their opponents to a field goal percentage of 36.60%, which places them 11th in college basketball. These opposing strengths should make for an exciting matchup.
