A Look At The Matchup
Last year, Wake Forest won a thriller against Michigan, as the Demon Deacons erased an early double-digit deficit to score a 72-70 victory at the First Horizon Coliseum in Greensboro.
During the 2024-25 season, the Demon Deacons earned 21 victories and the program's first-ever double bye in the ACC Tournament. With 13 ACC victories – tied for the most in a single season in school history and the second time in four seasons the Deacs have hit that mark – Wake Forest earned its highest regular season finish since the 2008-09 campaign.
Michigan, meanwhile, won the Big Ten title and earned 27 wins – most since the 2018-19 season – and a trip to the Sweet Sixteen.
In ACC play this upcoming year, Wake Forest will host nine conference games at LJVM Coliseum including matchups with Big Four foe NC State and Clemson and Louisville, as both programs finished the 2024-25 campaign in the AP top-25. The Deacs' entire schedule will be released at a later date.
