Virginia Cavaliers vs Wake Forest Demon Deacons Prediction, Odds and Picks for Wednesday, 02/26/25

The Virginia Cavaliers will travel to Winston-Salem on Wednesday night to play an ACC game against the Wake Forest Demon Deacons. Virginia is just 13-14 on the season and will need to win the ACC Tournament to make the NCAA Tournament. Wake Forest is 19-8 and will most likely need to win 3 of their last 4 games to keep themselves in the at-large conversation. The Demon Deacons’ offense has held them back from being a better team, as they are ranked just 236th in points per game this season. We do not expect the offense to be great in this matchup, so we’re rolling with the Under for our best bet.

We expect a low-scoring game here because it should be a slow-paced matchup and neither team’s offense has been good this season. Wake Forest has struggled to put points on the board and Virginia is even worse, ranking 344th in points per game in the nation. The Cavaliers played at a very slow pace under head coach Tony Bennett and that has not changed under first-year head coach Ron Sanchez. According to KenPom, Virginia is ranked 362nd in adjusted tempo and 352nd in average offensive possession length. Their slow pace makes it difficult for them to put up points and should help this total stay Under.
