If it seems like it has been forever since Wake Forest has had a game, that is because it basically has been. The Deacs suit up for the first time today since their win over NC A&T all the way back on December 21st. That is an enormous amount of time to go without playing in college basketball. Unfortunately, the Deacs will be short handed in this one, as Michael Wynn and Sharone Wright Jr. were suspended yesterday for not upholding the standards of Wake Forest basketball. The good news is that the Deacs should be plenty rested after the long break.
