ACC meets SEC Tuesday night when Wake Forest entertains Vanderbilt at Lawrence Joel Coliseum (9 p.m./Fox Sports South).
Wake Forest, 3-0, is coming off a 73-48 victory over visiting Elon Friday night. Senior Kyle Visser recorded a double-double with 20 points and 12 rebounds, his third consecutive game scoring 20 or more points.
The Deacons, one of college basketball's youngest teams, have typically started two freshmen, two sophomores and a senior.
Vanderbilt, 0-1, continues its difficult season-opening schedule Tuesday. The Commodores opened the season with an 86-70 loss to visiting Georgetown Wednesday night.
Alex Gordon had 15 points off the bench, and Derrick Byars added 14 for Vanderbilt, which lost its season opener on its home court for the first time since 1990. Dan Cage had 10 points.
Vanderbilt went 17-13 last season and advanced to the postseason NIT.
The Commodores lead the all-time series, 4-3. The last two meetings -- in 1998 and 2000 -- came in the postseason NIT. Tuesday's game marks the first regular season meeting between the two teams since 1994-95.
