Wake Forest Faces Notre Dame in First-Ever Trip to South Bend >>
• Wake Forest will be facing its second-straight ranked team on the road when the Demon Deacons take on the Notre Dame Fighting Irish on Tuesday evening in South Bend, Ind.
• Tip-off for Wake Forest's first-ever game at Notre Dame is scheduled for 7 p.m. at Purcell Pavilion. The game will be televised nationally on ESPNU and can also be heard on the Wake Forest IMG Sports Network.
Last Time Out >>
• Wake Forest is coming off a heartbreaking 61-60 loss at No. 2-ranked Virginia on Valentine's Day. The Deacons built a seven-point halftime lead, saw the Cavaliers fight back to go up 13 in the second half but then had a chance for the game-winner in the final seconds. Wake Forest was unable to get a shot off on its final possession.
• Konstantinos Mitoglou led the way with 18 points, hitting 6-of-12 from 3-point range including a triple that pulled the Deacons to within one with 40 seconds remaining.
• Codi Miller-McIntyre added 13 points, eight rebounds and four assists. Virginia's defense clamped down on the star guard in the final seconds to prevent a would-be game-winning attempt.
• Cornelius Hudson scored 12 points off the bench. He was 3-for-5 from 3-point range while adding three assists and a steal.

• Konstantinos Mitoglou is 21-for-36 from 3-point range for 58 percent over the past five games. He is averaging 15.6 points during the stretch. Only four of his 25 field goals during the stretch are two-pointers.
• Wake Forest has made at least 10 3-pointers in three of its past four games, hitting 10 vs. NC State, 12 vs. Miami and 10 at Virginia.
• Codi Miller-McIntyre is the 50th all-time Deacon to score 1,000 points. Devin Thomas is not far behind, needing just 30 more points to reach the milestone. The last two Wake Forest classmates to both reach 1,000 points by their junior seasons were Justin Gray and Eric Williams (2003-06).
