The Wake Forest Demon Deacons will head up to South Bend to face the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in ACC play from the Purcell Pavilion. This marks the 15th time Notre Dame and Wake face off, and the Fighting Irish hold the head-to-head lead, 8-6.
Wake Forest fell to 14-9 after losing to Duke in Durham. The Demon Deacons nearly battled back to defeat the Blue Devils, but they’d fall by just two points. Wake is scoring 77.2 points per game, while allowing 73.1 ppg, and shooting 46.3% from the floor.
Wake Forest finds themselves in the midst of a four-game skid, and they’ll need to avoid slipping up against a veteran Irish team here on the road. Wake is 6-6 in ACC play, with a 3-5 road record.
