White Out Sell Out

Off to its best start in eight seasons the #6 ranked visiting Wake Forest (12-0) Demon Deacons will square off in a sell out at the Marriott Center local time 6PM. With no remaining seats available for the rest of us the "game seats" will be seen on "The Mtn" and radio coverage on 1160AM. According to the ESPN power poll WF is ranked #5 while the jerseys in blue are at #24. There will be over 20 scouts present to witness the white out as the Cougs continue to ride the nations longest home streak at 53. Although the Cougs are favored by 3 (per vegasinsider.com) the jerseys in blue will definately have their hands full. The demon deacons have 6 players 6'8 or taller and it shows as Wake Forest is in the top 5 nationally in RPG and in the rebounding margin. The deacons are a young team but have an immense amount of talent. Of the core players there are 2 juniors, 2 sophomores and 1 freshman. They are led by sophomore Jeff Teague (6.2G) who is averaging 18.8/game. Al-Farouq Aminu (6.8F) has all the tools and talent to play small forward at the next level. Aminu is dropping 12.9 points per game as a freshman and while clearing 9.1 boards per matchup. The other sophomore is James Johnson (6.8F) who averages 12.8 and 7.7 rebounds per game. At center is seven foot junior Chas McFarland who barely left the bench under Skip Prosser yet now averages 10.3 with 6.6 rebounds. If the Cougs can play some solid defense, find a way to clear the boards/work the paint and drop a few threes I definately like our chances.
