If Wake Foest somehow played just a little bit better away from home they would have been in the NCAA Tournament. Wake was 2-9 on the road and 2-3 on a neutral court. They were all but unbeatable at home where they finished at 16-1 with the only blemish a one point loss to Georgia Tech. They allowed 72.8 PPG on a neutral court, 74.9 PPG in road games, and just 66.9 PPG at home. The Mounataineers have to be disappointed as they saw an eight game winning streak go up in smoke to Arkansas St. and despite a 27-6 season, thy are in the NIT. This team is untested at this level of play, and the scoring is not going to come easy. The good news is Appalachian St. has allowed opponents to shoot just 38.6% from the field, and 30.9% from 3. Defense typically travels well. Make the play UNDER the total.
