With 2 really tough games against Miami and Louisville coming up, the Deacs probably need to this one to avoid starting 1-3 in the first third of the season. Purdue has been really bad in the past few seasons, but in the transfer portal era, a team’s fortunes can turn around very quickly—hopefully Wake isn’t overlooking them due to their 2-10 record last season.
Go Deacs!
