The Virginia Tech Hokies [11-2, 1-1] look to get back on track Saturday against the Wake Forest Demon Deacons [9-4, 1-1.] The Hokies were ranked last week, but a 70-65 loss to the Boston College Eagles dropped them from the top 25.
Wake Forest enters Saturday’s game coming off an impressive 81-70 win over the No. 14 Dule Blue Devils. The Hokies had won six consecutive games over the Demon Deacons until Wake dominated the Hokies 80-61 in the ACC opener last December.
The Deacs are led by senior guard Tyree Appleby, who is averaging 18 points and five assists per game.
