Wake Forest finally gets to play an unranked opponent again, but an ACC road game is still an ACC road game. The Deacs are up against the North Carolina Tar Heels in Chapel Hill looking for their first win in the Dean Dome since January 20th, 2010 (a game where Ish Smith got close to a triple double with 20 points, 6 assists and 7 rebounds). The Tar Heels are certainly better than they were last year (they finished last in the ACC, just in case you forgot), but they are not the college basketball juggernaut they have been in recent history. Personally, I can’t think of a better place to pickup the first ACC win of the season.
