The Wake Forest Demon Deacons should be looking to complete a sweep of the series against the Clemson Tigers on Tuesday evening, but unfortunately the Deacs suffered a horrific collapse against the Tigers on December 31st. Wake Forest was up 7 points and shooting the front end of a one-and-one with just 3:17 remaining, but failed to score for the rest of the game and ultimately lost 73-68. If NCAA Tournament hopes weren’t enough motivation for this rematch, then memories of that collapse can only help fuel the fire.
The Demon Deacons are objectively a better team than Clemson.
