DEACS OPEN TWO-GAME TRIANGLE ROAD TRIP IN CHAPEL HILL
• Wake Forest begins the final week of the regular season with a visit to North Carolina
• The Demon Deacons are looking to win three straight ACC games for the first time since 2017
• The Deacs are looking to sweep the season series from the Tar Heels for the first time since 2003

SERIES HISTORY
• North Carolina leads 161-67 (UNC leads 75-19 in Chapel Hill, 22-5 at the Smith Center)
• The Deacs won the first matchup of the season, 74-57, in Winston-Salem on Feb. 11 as Brandon Childress (14 points, career-high 10 assists) had his first career double-double
• Wake's last win at the Smith Center was an 82-69 victory in 2010

LAST TIME OUT

• Chaundee Brown had 15 points and 10 rebounds for his fifth career double-double
• Brandon Childress had 14 points and six assists in his final game at the LJVM Coliseum

A STANDING O FOR OLIVIER
• Olivier Sarr is the reigning ACC Player of the Week after two dominant performances last week in the wins over No. 7 Duke and Notre Dame
• Sarr set a career high with 25 points in the win over Duke on 7-9 shooting from the floor and 11-14 from the line (He drew 10 fouls in the game and worked to foul out three Blue Devil post players)
• Against Notre Dame, Sarr set career highs of 30 points and 17 rebounds, becoming just the third Deacon in the last 50 years to have a 30-and-15 game in ACC play (John Collins, Rodney Rogers)
• Sarr was also named the Lute Olson National Player of the Week by CollegeInsider.com

GET TO THE LINE
• Wake Forest leads the ACC in free throw attempts (24.4 per game) and is third in free throw percentage (74.8 percent)
• The Deacs' free throw rate of 42.8% (FTA/FGA) ranks sixth nationally and is the highest for a Wake Forest team since 2014-15 (50.1)
• Olivier Sarr ranks second in the ACC with 174 free throw attempts, already more than the 106 he had in his first two seasons combined
• Sarr's 6.4 FTA/game is the highest rate of getting to the line by a Deacon since 2017 when John Collins averaged 6.7 FTA/game
• Olivier Sarr (133) and Brandon Childress (115) rank first and fourth in the ACC in free throws made this season
• 24.8% of Wake Forest's points this season have come from the line, the third highest percentage nationally
• Wake Forest went 24-of-25 from the free throw line against Long Beach State in the semifinals of the Wooden Legacy, as the 96% was the second-best single-game average in school history (min. 20 attempts), trailing only the ACC record 32-of-32 Wake had against North Carolina in 2005
