Wake Freshman JT Terrell

Live Tempo-Based Stats - SCACCHoops.com

Wake Forest's 2010-2011 basketball season is slated to kickoff tonight at 7:00 when the Deacons take on the Quakers from D-III Guilford in Wake's lone tuneup before the season starts. The Deacons are only expected to start six starters to take on the Quakers who are coming off a 65-46 victory over the Italian Junior National Team on Tuesday. Plagued by injuries, the Deacons are only expected to field a roster with six scholarship players for tonight's game. Depth could be a very big concern for Wake as Guilford is a formidable opponent, finishing 3rd in the nation last year in D-III, and winning the regular season ODAC championship.

After a quick look at the roster it appears that Wake Forest has more than enough players to take the court for the first peek at the Deacs this season, but Wake has been hampered by an inordinately large number of injuries during the preseason.
 
Sophomore Ari Stewart is slated to miss tonight's game because of a hyper-extended knee, freshman Melvin Tabb has mono and won't play, freshman Tony Chennault has been hampered by a stress reaction in his foot and is not going to play, while transfer Nikita Mescheriakov from Georgetown is not eligible until after first semester exams (because of the NCAA's rule on transfers sitting out a year). Even top walk-on Brooks Godwin is expected to miss the game with a lingering leg injury. 
 
This leaves Wake with an awkward six remaining scholarship players tonight and more than likely the following starting lineup:
 
G: JT Terrell 
SF: Travis Mckie
 
One would expect the healthy walk-ons to see some playing time as well tonight. Guilford does not have a lot of height compared to the Deacs and one would think that even the walk-ons would experience some
