WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - Wake Forest will look to kick off its holiday week on a high note when the Demon Deacons welcome in the Presbyterian Blue Hose on Tuesday evening at the Lawrence Joel Coliseum in Winston-Salem.
Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. The game will be streamed live online at WakeForestSports.com and can also be heard on the Wake Forest Sports Network from IMG College.
The Demon Deacons (6-5) are coming off an 83-75 loss at Xavier in the second annual Skip Prosser Classic held last Saturday at the Cintas Center in Cincinnati. The loss evened the annual series at one win apiece.
Freshman J.T. Terrell led the Deacons in defeat, scoring 24 of his game-high 27 points in the second half. Terrell went 5-of-7 from 3-point range in the second stanza and 6-of-10 for the game.
Classmate Travis McKie led Wake's efforts on the boards, pulling down a team-best 11 rebounds to go along with eight points.
Terrell and McKie continue to be two of the top rookies in the ACC this season. The two are the second- and third-leading scorers among conference freshmen. McKie leads all ACC rookies in rebounding (8.5 rpg) and double-doubles (4).
Ari Stewart scored in double figures for the ninth straight game with 10 points off the bench at Xavier. C.J. Harris chipped in 10 points of his own. Stewart led Wake Forest in assists for the first time in his career, dishing out four on the night.
Presbyterian (5-6, 1-1 Big South) comes in after a big win at Auburn on Saturday. The Blue Hose picked up their first win over a BCS conference school with a 62-59 defeat of the Tigers.
Wake Forest leads the all-time series with Presbyterian, 2-0. The Deacons won the first meeting, 36-29, in 1928. Wake also won the most recent meeting, picking up a 70-58 win at the Joel Coliseum on Jan. 2, 2008.
