02/28/2009 - Charlottesville, VA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The 13th-ranked Wake Forest Demon Deacons embark on their final road trip of the regular season today, as they invade Charlottesville to tussle with the Virginia Cavaliers in ACC play at the John Paul Jones Arena.
The Deacons were in action just this past Thursday, when they picked up an 85-78 triumph over NC State. It was the third win in the past four games by WF, which remains in a three-way tie for third place in the ACC standings at 8-5. The Deacons, at 21-5 overall, now return to the road for two straight games, with the second bout coming at Maryland on Tuesday.
As for Virginia, it currently sits with the second worst record in the conference at 3-10, two games ahead of 1-12 Georgia Tech. Since knocking off Clemson and Virginia Tech in consecutive outings, the Cavs have dropped two straight decisions, including a 62-55 setback against Miami-Florida on Thursday. With the loss, the squad dipped to 9-15 overall and 8-7 at home.
In terms of the all-time series, Wake holds a 65-59 edge over Virginia and the Deacons have won the last two meetings in the rivalry.
The Demon Deacons dropped in 52.5 percent of their shots from the floor and 18-of-22 at the foul line, as they came away with an 85-78 win over NC State on Thursday. Wake also won the battle on the boards, 42-27, including a 13-7 edge on the offensive glass. James Johnson had a monster game for the Deacons, posting career-highs of 28 points and 18 rebounds. Ishmael Smith delivered 18 points off the bench, and Chas McFarland and Jeff Teague checked in with 15 and 12 points, respectively. Teague has been sensational for Wake this season and he is one of the top players in the conference, averaging a hardy 20.0 ppg, to go with 3.7 apg and 53 steals. Johnson turns in 14.8 ppg and a team- high 8.4 rpg, while Al-Farouq Aminu adds 12.6 ppg and 8.1 rpg to the mix. As a team, the Deacons are posting 82.5 ppg and 40.7 rpg, in addition to shooting 50.0 percent from the field.
The Cavs were guilty of 16 turnovers and those miscues proved costly, as Miami scored 22 points off them in a 62-55 decision on Thursday. Virginia shot a modest 40.0 percent from the floor and went 10-of-11 at the foul line, but it wasn't enough to compensate for the mistakes. Jeff Jones guided the team in defeat with 16 points, while Sylven Landesberg had 13 points and seven boards. Landesberg has been the Cavs' most productive players this season and he is generating a team-high 17.8 ppg, to go along with 6.1 rpg. Mike Scott, the team's top rebounder at 7.2 rpg, chips in with 10.5 ppg for Virginia, which is scoring 71.3 ppg as a team.
