WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - Wake Forest will look to gain some momentum heading into next week's ACC Tournament when the Demon Deacons host the Virginia Tech Hokies on Sunday afternoon in Winston-Salem. Tip-off is set for 2 p.m. at the Lawrence Joel Coliseum.
The Deacons will be looking to avenge a heartbreaking 66-65 loss in Blacksburg on Jan. 19.

Last Time Out
• Wake Forest is coming off an 81-66 loss at NC State on Wednesday in Raleigh. The Wolfpack used a 13-0 run in the first half to take control, and the Deacons could not come back from a 15-point halftime deficit.
• Devin Thomas battled his way to his third double-double of the season and his second against the Wolfpack, finishing with 13 points and 11 rebounds on Wednesday. Thomas had 25 points and 14 rebounds in Wake Forest's 86-84 win over State in late January.
• Madison Jones scored 10 points on 5-of-8 shooting and also dished out a season-high six assists. Jones started at point guard in place of Codi Miller-McIntyre, who missed the trip with strep throat.
• Travis McKie scored 12 points on 6-of-11 shooting, while Chase Fischer and C.J. Harris finished with nine points apiece on the night.
The Opposition
• Virginia Tech (13-17, 4-13 ACC) is coming off an 85-57 loss at Duke on Tuesday in Durham. The Hokies feature the nation's leading scorer in senior Erick Green, who is averaging 25.0 points per game on the season.
Series History
• Virginia Tech leads the all-time series with Wake Forest, 29-27, including a 66-65 win in Blacksburg on Jan. 19. The series dates back to the 1911-12 season as the teams were longtime non-conference rivals.
• The Deacons snapped a five-game losing streak to the Hokies with their 58-55 win in Winston-Salem last season.
Next Up...
• Wake Forest will take its shot at an ACC championship, as the 60th annual ACC Tournament is set for March 14-17 in Greensboro, N.C. The Deacons' last two Tournament titles, back-to-back championships in 1995 and 1996, came at the Greensboro Coliseum.
• The official bracket and Tournament seedings will be released by the conference office on Sunday evening.
