The Wake Forest Demon Deacons just played in the program’s biggest game in 7 years and they came away victorious. The Demon Deacons knocked off the #8 Louisville Cardinals on Senior Night to improve to 17-12 overall, including 8-9 in ACC play, and is still very much alive for an NCAA Tournament bid. The Deacs had been searching for that elusive signature win, and tonight they got it in the form of an 88-81 victory over Louisville. What a beautiful night to be a Wake Forest fan.
The game began with such anticiption, but the air was quickly taken out of the Lawrence Joel Veteran’s Memorial Coliseum, as the Cardinals jumped out to an early lead, and were up by as many as 14 points in the first half.
