ACC Tournament Central
CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The Wake Forest men's basketball team will be the No. 5 seed in the ACC Tournament, as announced by the league office Saturday night.
The Demon Deacons (19-12, 11-9 ACC) are set to play the winner of the Georgia Tech - Notre Dame game on Wednesday at 2:30 p.m. inside the Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C.
Purchase your tickets today and come cheer on the Deacs in Washington D.C. Please note all tickets for the 2024 ACC Men's Basketball Tournament should be purchased and managed through Monumental Sports Account Manager. Tickets cannot be managed through your Wake Forest Ticketing Account.
The winner of the game will face No. 4 seed Pitt (21-10, 12-8 ACC) at 2:30 p.m. on Thursday. Both games will be broadcast on ESPN or ESPN2 and available for streaming via ACC Network Extra.
Wake Forest has already seen Georgia Tech twice this season, splitting the matchups 1-1. The Deacs defeated the Yellow Jackets by 29 points at Georgia Tech in early February. The win marked the fifth-largest ACC road win in program history. Wake fell to Georgia Tech last week at home by one. It was the only home loss of the season for the Deacs.
The Deacs fell to Notre Dame earlier this season in South Bend, 70-65, Feb. 27.
This is the second time in three seasons the Deacs have earned the five seed. Previously, Wake Forest earned the five seed for the 2022 ACC Tournament in Brooklyn, New York. That was the highest seed the Demon Deacons had earned since the 2009-10 season when they were also the five-seed and advanced to the quarterfinals.
Most recently, Wake advanced to the quarterfinals at the 2023 ACC Tournament in Greensboro for the first time since 2009 after beating Syracuse on a buzzer-beater. Along with their tournament seed, the Wake Forest men's basketball team has reached many milestones this season in the fourth year of the Steve Forbes era.
The 16 home wins by the Deacs this season are tied for the second-most home wins in program history and the 15-game home win streak was the longest since Feb. 2007-Jan. 2008.
Additionally, Wake Forest defeated four ACC opponents by a margin of 25 or more points this season, which is the most 25-plus point ACC wins in program history.
