On Saturday evening in Winston-Salem, Clemson's Tigers badly wanted a win to clinch a double bye to the ACC Tournament quarterfinals next week, while the home Wake Forest Demon Deacons badly needed a win to stay in the hunt for an NCAA Tournament bid.
The latter won out with a hot-shooting performance, 81-76, to leave the Tigers’ ACC Tourney seeding temporarily in flux and deny Clemson (21-10, 11-9 ACC) a 10th win away from Littlejohn Coliseum in the regular season and a sixth victory over a NET Quadrant 1 team.
