In this article, we will formulate a Wake Forest vs NC A&T Prediction for this college basketball game on Thursday, November 7th, at the LJVM Coliseum.
NC A&T Dominated First Game
NC A&T’s first game came against a non-D1 team and they were able to dominate the game. North Carolina A&T faced off against the Cheney Wolves and it was a 107-55 victory. At halftime, they were up 55-24 and in the second half, they didn’t take the foot off the gas on the way to the win.
There were 12 different players that played for the Aggies and five different players that played at 29 minutes. Will Felton played 14 minutes and finished with 17 points and 12 rebounds. Jahanthan Lamothe also had a huge game putting up 27 points, six rebounds, and four assists. This is going to be a much tougher matchup and if they want to find success, they are going to need the defense to really step up. If the defense struggles, this is going to be a very long game.
Wake Forest’s Defense Dominated
Wake Forest faced off against Coppin State in the first game and the defense dominated on the way to the victory. Wake Forest’s offense only scored 64 points, but the defense gave up only 49 points on the way to the victory. At halftime, they were up 42-22 and they never looked back on the way to the victory. As a team Wake Forest shot only 39.3 percent from the field and 24.3 percent from behind the three-point line. They allowed Coppin State to shoot only 28.3 percent from the field. Guard Cameron Hildreth finished with 15 points, five rebounds, and four assists.
Wake Forest vs NC A&T Prediction
This game is going to come down to the defense and it’s going to be Wake Forest’s defense that steps up in a big way in this game. NC A&T’s offense was good in the first game but this is a much tougher matchup against the Wake Forest defense. I really don’t trust Wake Forest’s offense to light up the scoreboard either and this game is going to end up under the posted total. Back the under.
