The Notre Dame Fighting Irish men’s basketball team won its second game in a row early Tuesday evening, blowing out the Wake Forest Demon Deacons 79 to 58 at Purcell Pavilion and improving to 7-9 on the season (4-6 in ACC play).
The Irish were just a few days removed from another blowout win last Saturday at the Pittsburgh Panthers, this time taking advantage of a struggling Wake team playing in its first season under new head coach Steve Forbes.
ND was led on the day by Juwan Durham, who scored 18 points on 7-of-9 shooting while also adding 9 rebounds and 5 blocks in easily one of his best games in an Irish uniform.
