Predictions

ESPN: According to ESPN analytics, the Cardinals have a 75.1% chance of beating the Wake Forest Demon Deacons at the Yum! on Tuesday night.

Kenpom: Kenpom seems to agree with ESPN analytics but they are a bit more bullish on the Cards giving them an 82% chance of winning with a predicted final score of 74-64.

Personal: Even with the Demon Deacons battling Duke on Saturday I still feel great about this game—Cards 81, Demon Deacons 68.
