Last Time Out
Wake Forest is coming off a 55-52 win over Virginia on Wednesday in Winston-Salem. The Deacons led by as many as 14 points in the second half but had to hold off a late Cavalier charge to earn their first ACC win.
The Deacons were held without a field goal over the final 10 minutes of the game but went 9-for-11 from the free throw line during that stretch and used tough defense to gut out the win.
C.J. Harris scored a game-high 16 points, including an 8-of-8 mark from the free throw line, with six of the free throws coming in the final 1:19.
Travis McKie added 14 points and three assists along with two blocks and a perfect 5-of-5 mark from the charity stripe.
Devin Thomas grabbed a team-high eight rebounds and also had three blocks and two assists.
Wake Forest forced a Virginia team that entered the night averaging only 11.5 turnovers per game into 17 turnovers while turning the ball over only 12 times themselves.
