Another big game today, as the Deacs really cannot afford to lose any more home games this season. The Pitt Panthers have been as high as 5th in the NET rankings this season but have fallen almost 30 spots after a 4-game losing streak at the beginning of January. Wake may have their hands full with the backcourt duo of Jaland Lowe and Ishmael Leggett—the two combine for 34.1 points, 8.6 assists, 3.6 steals, and 10.0 rebounds per game. The Deacs have played great defense all season long and are at home—where they have one of the best records in the nation—so they should have the advantage in this one.

Go Deacs!
