Tonight the Notre Dame Fighting Irish faced the Wake Forest Demon Deacons in the first round of the ACC Tournament, hot off their first win over a ranked opponent in more than three years. How did the Irish fare against the #14 seed, Wake Forest. Let’s take a look!
Wake Forest had the first possession of the game, but the Irish got points on the board first, on a Juwan Durham jumper. The Demon Deacons, however, quickly responded with a Daivien Williamson layup. After the initial Irish bucket, the Irish couldn’t seem to get off to much of a start, though, missing several buckets and turning over the ball.
