        • Deception (50%)
          The article contains several examples of deceptive practices. Firstly, the author claims that Duke has won five straight games and eight of the last nine games. However, this is not entirely accurate as they lost one game during this period. Secondly, the author states that Wake Forest leads in free-throw percentage but fails to mention their ranking in points allowed per game which is crucial information for a basketball matchup. Thirdly, the article quotes statistics from previous games without providing context or linking them back to peer-reviewed studies which could be misleading.
