Last Time Out
• Wake Forest is coming off a 73-67 win over No. 19-ranked North Carolina on Sunday in Winston-Salem.
• The Deacons used an 11-0 run over a three-minute span in the second half to push its lead to 53-40 with 10 minutes to play. UNC closed to within 64-61, but the Deacons got a huge three-point play from Travis McKie with just over a minute to play to seal the win.
• Wake Forest went just 19-for-33 (58 percent) at the line in the game, but the Deacons made them when it counted most by going 7-for-8 at the line in the final 1:03 of the game.
• McKie scored a game-high 16 points on 7-of-11 shooting, while Codi Miller-McIntyre finished with 12 points and four assists.
• Arnaud William Adala Moto had one of his best games of the season as he finished with 11 points and nine rebounds, one-off his career-high. Tyler Cavanaugh also had 11 points as he went 9-of-11 at the free throw line.
• Devin Thomas was limited to just eight minutes in the first half but came up big in the second half. He finished with nine points, nine rebounds and four assists on the night.
Wake Forest Storylines
• Wake Forest has limited each of its past five opponents to below 40 percent shooting from the field. The Deacons won four of those five games.

• Wake Forest will play four of its next five games on the road beginning Wednesday.
• Senior Travis McKie is 15 points away from 1,500 for his career. The leading active career scorer in the ACC, McKie would be the 20th Deacon to reach the mark.
