What to Know

The Wake Forest Demon Deacons and the Boston College Eagles will face off in an ACC clash at 8 p.m. ET Jan. 14 at Silvio O. Conte Forum. The teams split their matchups last year, with Wake Forest winning the first 87-57 at home and BC taking the second 82-77.

While not quite a landslide, the contest between the Demon Deacons and the Florida State Seminoles on Wednesday was still a pretty decisive one as Wake Forest wrapped it up with a 90-75 win at home. Wake Forest got double-digit scores from four players: guard Cameron Hildreth (23), guard Damari Monsanto (22), forward Andrew Carr (22), and guard Tyree Appleby (16).

Meanwhile, BC lost to the Miami (Fla.) Hurricanes on the road by a decisive 88-72 margin. A silver lining for the Eagles was the play of guard DeMarr Langford Jr., who had 20 points and six assists.

Barring any buzzer beaters, Wake Forest is expected to win a tight contest Saturday. Those playing the odds have seen things go back and forth with the Demon Deacons, who are 9-8 against the spread.

Wake Forest's victory lifted them to 12-5 while Boston College's defeat dropped them down to 8-9. In Wake Forest's victory, Cameron Hildreth had 23 points along with six boards and Andrew Carr had 22 points. We'll see if BC have a strategy for dealing with them or if they lead their team to another successful outing.
