The Deacs are back in action today and they are going up against the 1st place team in the ACC, the Louisville Cardinals. The Cardinals have lost just 3 games all season and are in the midst of an 8 game winning streak, so Wake Forest is going to have to play one heck of a game to go on the road and pull out a win over a top 5 team. Having dropped the last 2 games against the Cards by a combined 47 points, the odds are definitely stacked against Wake in this one, but as a famous smuggler once said, “Never tell me the odds.”
