Wake Forest Demon Deacons vs. West Virginia Mountaineers Prediction
I’m on West Virginia here. It’s an interesting matchup for sure, but I think that West Virginia’s the better team in this game and I like the squad that Ross Hodge has himself in Morgantown. Wake has struggled for the most part in their games against teams of a similar leve of competition, and I think WVU gets it done in this one. Give me the Mountaineers.
