In their inaugural season in the ACC, the Stanford Cardinal have proven to be a formidable force, securing key victories against conference rivals such as California, Virginia Tech, and Virginia. On the other hand, the Wake Forest Demon Deacons have shown promise, but their success heavily relies on the performance of their top scorer, Hunter Sallis.
