Wake Forest is back in action tonight against a very good Penn State squad for the ACC-Big 10 Challenge. The Nittany Lions were picked to finish 10th this season in the Big 10, but it is starting to look like they may exceed those expectations. PSU is led by senior forward Lamar Stevens, who tested the waters of the NBA draft in the off-season before deciding to return for his senior season. He is averaging an impressive 18 points and 8 rebounds per game this season, so the Deacs will need to find a way to defend him.
