Wake is getting throw into the fire early this season, taking on a top 25 Vanderbilt team in just their 2nd game. Tonight is probably going to give us a really good look at how well this team stacks up against an NCAA Tournament team, so we should be able to reassess our expectations by the end of the night.
Go Deacs!
