ACC play is here and the Deacs are in Atlanta to take on the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. The Jackets have had their share of ups and downs this season; GT started the season 0-2 with losses to Georgia State and Mercer, but are 3-0 over their last 3 games including a win over North Carolina. As Wake has missed a ton of practice time and played 1 game against D-II Catawba in the last month due to covid-19, I think this game is probably not going to be representative of what the Deacs are capable of this year.
