Clemson vs Wake preview...

I think this is a very even match up and strange that haven't played till end of season.
Remember a year, think it was also at end of season where Oliver Purnell last team, was also batteling for a 4th place bye in the ACCT with at game at Wake with the only time they played led by Trevor Booker and lost.
Wake is pretty solid at all 5 poaitions. They all average double figure points except for Reid but he averages over 9 ppg. Their best player is 6-5 or 6-6 wing guard Hunter Sallis, an NBA prosprct.
I think the key match up will probably be Jack Clark on Sallis. Think the other two guards on Wake's line up will be two quick for Clark to guard in 6-3 Cam Hildreth from England and jet 6-0 PG Miller from Chicago.
Inside Wake as two good bigs in Carr 6-11 230lb a streach 4 and 7-0 250lb Center Efton Reid. Carr is similar to PJ that can play inside and shoot the 3, and Reid can score. rebound and block shots. Both Sallis and Reid are transfers from Gonzaga. Think it will PJ on Carr and Chef on Reid.
A big weakness for Wake is don't have much of a bench especially since back up power forward Keller got hurt recently. Hope that Beadle, Godfrey and Wiggins can come up big. Need to try to get Reid and or Carr in foul trouble
Wake likes to cause turnovers with pressure and wants to speed up the game. Pace of play will be important. The Tigers probably want it in low 70s.

Wake is projected to be any where from a 4 or 5 point favorite at home. I'm going to say another real close game like the Duke and UVa game, but this time the Tigers find away to win: 75 -72.

I never expected this game to be easy, regardless of what is happening team wise. It would be a good win for any team.
