CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Wake Forest women's basketball head coach Jen Hoover, senior Milan Quinn and junior Amber Campbell represented the Demon Deacons at ACC Media Day on Wednesday, Oct. 12, at The Westin Hotel in Uptown Charlotte.
Announced at the event, Wake Forest has been picked to finish 11th in the preseason ACC polls selected by the Blue Ribbon Panel and the Head Coaches. The league also announced a destination for the 2017 ACC Women's Basketball Tournament, which will be contested in Conway, S.C., near Myrtle Beach and hosted by Coastal Carolina University at the HTC Center.
The 2017 tournament was initially moved out of Greensboro, N.C., and the Greensboro Coliseum last month. Wednesday's announcement is the final relocation announcement for the various neutral site championships that were originally scheduled to be played in North Carolina.
In the preseason poll, the Demon Deacons' 11th-place pick is the highest since being selected 11th in 2014 and ninth in 2012.
Throughout the morning session in Charlotte, the Deacs circulated through nine stations speaking with reporters and representatives from ESPN, Raycom, the ACC Digital Network, Fox Sports, Play4Kay and various media members in attendance.
Highlights of the day included a stop at the Social Station and the press conference aired live on ACC Network Extra. Fans who missed the press conference portion can go back and watch it on ACC Network Extra via the WatchESPN app.
In just 30 days, the Demon Deacons will take to the court for the first time in 2016-17 when they welcome Navy on Friday, Nov. 11. Opening tip is set for 4 p.m. inside LJVM Coliseum and the game will be followed by the Wake Forest men's basketball team taking on Radford.
