Virginia hopes to capture critical road win at Wake

Virginia's season teeters on the brink of disaster as the Cavaliers prepare for a must-win match-up at Wake Forest Sunday.

Reeling from three straight losses by an average of 13.7 points, Virginia (14-10, 5-7 ACC) must find a way to stop the bleeding against the No. 10 Demon Deacons.

Wake Forest (17-4, 7-3) had an atypical week, going 1-1 in their two games against the last two national champions. A double-overtime thriller against Duke on February 13 produced 64 total fouls, with eight players fouling out. Sophomore forward Vytas Danelius had a team-high 20 points in the 94-80 victory, the Deacons' first over Duke in 14 games.

After the record snowfall that slammed the Eastern seaboard cancelled Wake Forest's match-up with Maryland on Sunday, Deacon players found themselves stranded in College Park, waiting for news of whether the game would be played Monday or postponed until after the regular season was slotted to end. The game was rescheduled hastily for Monday afternoon. The Terrapins romped to a 90-67 blowout, out-rebounding the Deacons
