The Deacs moved their travel plans up because of the winter storm. They practiced on campus this morning, and then are scheduled to fly out of Greensboro at 11 a.m. They were originally scheduled an afternoon on-campus practice with a 5 p.m. flight out.
Here's the notes from Wake media relations. I'm currently working on a football visit post, and I'll have a preview of the Miami game with full comments from coach Manning later this evening.
Be careful out there folks!
DEACS FACE ANOTHER RANKED FOE AT MIAMI
• Wake Forest looks to snap its three-game losing streak as it visits No. 15 Miami
• The Deacs are playing their second of three consecutive games against ranked opponents (Wake Forest hosts No. 13 Virginia on Tuesday)
• Wake is looking for its first win in the state of Florida since 2011 (def. Texas Tech in the Old Spice Classic in Orlando)
SERIES HISTORY
• Wake Forest leads the all-time series 10-7, but the Hurricanes have won five of the seven previous meetings in Coral Gables
• Since Miami joined the ACC, the home team has won 11 of the 14 regular season matchups
• The Deacs won last year’s contest 72-70 in Winston-Salem
• Wake Forest has lost four straight at the BankUnited Center, with the Deacs’ last win in Coral Gables coming in 2006-07
AGAINST RANKED FOES
• The Deacons are 1-5 against ranked opponents this season, defeating Indiana and losing to Vanderbilt, Xavier, Louisville, Duke and North Carolina
• Wake Forest’s three non-conference games against ranked foes were its most since 2004-05
• A win today would mark the first time Wake Forest defeated two ranked teams away from home in the same season since 2009-10 (Gonzaga, UNC)
ROAD, SWEET ROAD
• Wake Forest is 5-4 away from home this season and has already more than doubled its road/neutral win total of last season (two)
• Wake is the only ACC team with a winning percentage this year away from home that is equal or better than at home
• The Deacons’ three true non-conference road wins led the ACC
• Wake Forest had five non-conference road/neutral wins for the first time since winning six in 2008-09 as the Deacs climbed to No. 1 in the nation
• A win tonight would mark the Deacs’ fourth true road win of the season, their most since 2009-10 (six)
SPREADING THE WEALTH
• Wake has had 11 different players record a double-figure scoring game this season, its most since 11 players accomplished the feat in 1982-83
• The Deacons lead the ACC in that category (Miami is second with 10)
• Of the 11 players, nine have had a double-figure game in ACC play (no other team in the league has more than seven)
UP NEXT
• The Deacs return home to host No. 13 Virginia on Tuesday night
• The game, originally scheduled for Monday, was pushed back to Tuesday due to the winter storm
• Game time is 9 p.m. and the contest will air on ESPN3
