The ACC Tournament is here, and Wake Forest will once again try to overcome their recent tournament woes to find a way into the Big Dance. In the past 20 years, Wake has won just 6 tournament games, losing 16 of their last 18 attempts. It is truly baffling just how bad the Deacs have been in this event completely independent of the coach and the roster. Wake just lost to Syracuse on Saturday, so they are going to need to do something differently to consistently get good shots against the Orange 2-3 zone. Wake might need someone to get hot from deep to get their revenge in this one.

Go Deacs!
