Wake Forest has similar numbers as they score 82.7 points per game on 49.6% shooting and are holding opposing offenses to 67 points per game on 41.6% from the field. According to KenPom, Northwestern enters with the 39th best adjusted offensive efficiency and 55th on defense while he Demon Deacons come in owning the 99th best adjusted offensive efficiency and their defense ranks 81st. A major key to the game will be turnovers. Northwestern really takes care of the ball as they rank 7th in the nation in turnover percentage while the Wake Forest offense ranks 202nd in turning over the basketball. Northwestern also taps into their bench more often as spreading out the playing time and are a better free throw shooting team which will come in handy at the end of this one. Take Northwestern +1.5
