The Wake Forest Demon Deacons (19-7) and the NC State Wolfpack (10-16) are set to clash in an ACC battle on Saturday afternoon as both teams look to finish the season strong.
The Demon Deacons have been on a rollercoaster ride lately. After suffering back-to-back losses to Duke and Louisville, they bounced back in style, stringing together three straight victories. Their momentum was briefly halted with a tight loss to Florida State, but they quickly regained their footing, securing a 77-66 road win over SMU.
Meanwhile, NC State has endured a brutal stretch, dropping nine straight games before finally snapping the skid with a win over Boston College. However, they quickly fell back into old habits, suffering a 97-73 blowout loss to North Carolina. The Wolfpack sit near the bottom of the ACC standings and are at serious risk of missing the conference tournament altogether.
