The Miami Hurricanes and the Wake Forest Demon Deacons will face off in an ACC battle at 2:15 p.m. ET on Saturday at Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum.

Even though Clemson scored an imposing 82 points on Wednesday, Miami still came out on top. The Hurricanes took their contest against the Tigers 95-82. 95 seems to be a good number for Miami as the team scooped up a victory with the same number of points in their previous game.
