Wake Forest vs. Miami
The Wake Forest Demon Deacons will travel to the Watsco Center to take on the Miami Hurricanes in an ACC matchup (2:00 PM ET, ACCNX). The Hurricanes will look to add to their five-game winning streak in this game. On Monday, Miami beat the North Carolina Tar Heels in an 80-72 victory. Meanwhile, the Demon Deacons will look to add to their three-game winning streak after beating the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets 71-70.
With an 17-9 record on the season and an 9-6 record in conference play, the Demon Deacons are 3 games back from first place in the ACC standings. Wake Forest has been shaky this year on the road as they are 4-5 as the away team. Look to see if they can fix their problems when they travel to take on the Hurricanes in this one.
Wake Forest has gotten production from a lot of their players this year. The Demon Deacons have four players averaging double-digit points this season. Senior guard Tyree Appleby has been leading the Demon Deacons this year, as he leads the team in points and assists. Appleby is averaging 18.6 points and 6.2 assists a game on the season.

In their win against Georgia Tech, sophomore guard Cameron Hildreth led the team in points finishing with 19. Appleby was right behind him finishing with 16 points. He also made two clutch free-throws at the end of the game to give the Demon Deacons the win. In the win, Wake Forest shot 44.2% from the floor and 27.3% from the three-point line.
Offensively, the Demon Deacons are averaging 77.7 points a game on the season. Defensively, Wake Forest has been mediocre allowing teams to score an average of 73.1 points a game on the season. Look to see if they can give the Hurricanes trouble.
With an 21-5 record on the season and an 12-4 record in conference play, the Hurricanes are just 0.5 games from first place in the ACC standings. Miami has been perfect this year at home as they are 14-0 in the Watsco Center. The Hurricanes have gotten production from a lot of their players this year.
