It’s the last game of the 2021-22 regular season and the Deacs have a chance to win their 13th conference game of the season tonight against the NC State Wolfpack. Obviously, the ACC is playing more conference games now, but this would be the first time Wake has won 13 conference games since the 2004 season. The Wolfpack are currently battling to stay out of last place in the conference, so a loss here would be pretty inexcusable and seriously damage Wake’s NCAA Tournament resume (quad 3 loss), so let’s just take care of business and put this one away in the first half. Go Deacs!
