Wake Forest (10-6, 1-3) has another chance tonight to provide Danny Manning with a signature win in his third year at the helm. The Deacs welcome the No. 11 ranked North Carolina Tar Heels (14-3, 2-1) to Winston-Salem for an inner-state tilt. The game will air on ESPN2 at 8 PM live from the LJVM.
The Heels, fresh off a 107-56 thrashing of N.C. State, are looking to get to 3-1 in the ACC ahead of a showdown Saturday when they host the 4-0 Florida State Seminoles. This is a critical game for Wake Forest to notch a win in their belt and show that they can win close games down the stretch against good teams.
