It was a much anticipated matchup between the Wake Forest Demon Deacons and the Clemson Tigers, but the Deacs played their worst game in months. The Deacons made it somewhat interesting late in the second half and cut the lead to six with a little over a minute remaining, but could not come close enough. Ultimately, Clemson defeated Wake Forest, 95-83.
The Demon Deacons dropped to 15-11, 6-8 on the season, while Clemson improved to 14-11, 4-9. Wake Forest played well for about the first 13 minutes of the game, but Wake allowed too much dribble penetration and early foul trouble led to too many free throw trips for the Tigers.
