NC State vs. Wake Forest
We have 3 remaining brutal away games, at WF, at Charlottesville, and at Cameron. This is probably the least difficult of the 3.
We can win it, but something(s) needs to work really well. Smith needs to be his best self again, or we need to defend the arc better than we’ve done recently, or Morsell needs a monster game again, or Ross/Gantt have their best game, or we get someone back and they play surprisingly well, or something. The team that played ND Tuesday will not win.
This is going to be a very tough game. WF coming off a loss and playing at home. It will take resolute toughness and rebounding. A win would be huge and really set us up nicely for the late season close out.
If Clark is ready to go, is he going to be a little rusty? It will be interesting to see how KK adjusts the rotation. A big game from someone like Ross could really be the difference.
