Given the recent record between the two schools, Wake knows they can beat us, especially in their house.
State has won 3 straight and 5 of the past 7 games against Wake. Those 5 wins were by an average of 26.7 points per game. Both losses came at Wake, but State beat Wake by 18 points the last time they played at Wake in 2015.
None of that necessarily means a lot for tomorrow’s game, since Wake is arguably better this season than in any of those past seasons. But here’s the thing – so is State, and it’s not particularly close.
