Tonight the Notre Dame Fighting Irish hosted the Wake Forest Demon Deacons, the 9th all-time meeting between these two teams. Maybe the Irish underestimated the Demon Deacons, with their 2-10 ACC conference record, but Wake Forest was certainly ready to play the Fighting Irish tonight.
The Demon Deacons got off to a quick start, up 7-2 early in the first half, when Notre Dame finally hit their first three (T.J. GIbbs). Once Notre Dame got that first three point shot under their belt, they seemed to take off. With six minutes gone in the half, Gibbs already had 13 points.
