Who's Playing
Wake Forest @ LSU
Current Records: Wake Forest 7-2; LSU 7-1
What to Know
The Wake Forest Demon Deacons will take on the LSU Tigers at 2 p.m. ET Saturday at State Farm Arena. LSU will be strutting in after a win while the Demon Deacons will be stumbling in from a loss.
Wake Forest has to be hurting after a devastating 77-57 defeat at the hands of the Clemson Tigers last Friday. Guard Damari Monsanto had a pretty forgettable game, playing for 25 minutes but putting up just eight points on 3-for-12 shooting.
Meanwhile, LSU narrowly escaped with a victory as the team sidled past the UT Arlington Mavericks 63-59. The top scorer for LSU was forward KJ Williams (14 points).
Barring any buzzer beaters, Wake Forest is expected to win a tight contest. Those burned by picking them against the spread last week might want to keep in mind that the squad has not yet dropped back-to-back games against the spread this season.
The Demon Deacons ended up a good deal behind LSU when they played when the two teams previously met in November of last year, losing 75-61. Can Wake Forest avenge their loss, or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll soon find out.
