WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – The Wake Forest women's basketball team returns home to Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum to face North Carolina for the annual Pink Game Sunday.
The Demon Deacons (13-14, 6-10 ACC) are back inside the friendly confines of LJVM Coliseum for the final two games of the regular season. If the Deacs win both games, it would give them 10 homes wins this season including six in conference play.
The Tar Heels (16-10, 7-8 ACC) have dropped four straight games including a 93-75 loss at Boston College in their last outing. North Carolina is just 2-6 in road games this season with losses in their last three away contests.
Tipoff for Sunday afternoon's game against the Tar Heels is scheduled for noon (ET) at LJVM Coliseum. The game can also be seen on ACCNX.
Fans can follow along via the Demon Deacons Twitter, Instagram and Facebook accounts (@WakeWBB).
