Led by Jeff Teague and James Johnson, Wake Forest boasts the fifth-best scoring offense in the nation, but each struggled to get on track in Saturday's 70-60 win over Virginia.

The Demon Deacons, tied for third in the ACC with Florida State, have won five of seven after dropping three of four.

Wake is also second in the ACC in rebounding and has outrebounded each of its last five opponents.

The Terrapins have won four of six, however, and are suddenly back in the NCAA tournament picture after losing five of their previous seven.

A win over the Demon Deacons would likely get them closer to a bid and they've had little trouble beating Wake lately.

Maryland has won four straight over the Demon Deacons since 2005.
