Pythia's preview, written before tip-off

Wake Forest hosts Md.-East. Shore in the NCAA on 2 November 2026, with the Pythia model designating Wake Forest as the favourite at 89% to 11%. The Demon Deacons have won three of their last five games, including a 95-89 victory over Virginia Tech and an 80-73 home win against California, while their most recent loss was a 62-71 defeat to Clemson on 11 March 2026. Md.-East. Shore has struggled, winning only one of their last five outings, with losses to N. Carolina Central (76-83 on 12 March 2026), Delaware State (56-57 on 5 March 2026) and N. Carolina Central again (73-77 on 2 March 2026). Pythia projects a 79-65 score for the game, a total of 143.8 points, and a 50% chance that the over on the 143.5 line will be hit. The model also assigns a 2% probability of overtime. Wake Forest's recent performance and the projected margin make the 79-65 outcome the most likely result, with Md.-East. Shore's last game ending 56-57 at home.
