The Demon Deacons have been on a roll, showcasing an impressive offensive display in their last few games. Their most recent victory against Boston College saw them rack up 85 points with a field goal percentage of 52 and a three-point percentage of 39. This level of scoring efficiency is something that has become characteristic for Wake Forest this season. With such high shooting percentages, it's clear that they have found a rhythm on offense that could prove challenging for any opponent.


Moreover, their defensive efforts cannot go unnoticed either. In their game against Florida State on January 12th, they managed to steal the ball 10 times and block three shots while also outscoring their opponents by an impressive margin to secure a 90-75 win. These statistics highlight not only their ability to score but also to create turnovers and capitalize on them effectively.


On the other side of the court stand the Clemson Tigers who will certainly not make things easy for WAKE. The Tigers are known for their tenacity and will look to disrupt WAKE's flow on both ends of the floor.


However, given WFD's recent form and home-court advantage where they recently entertained an attendance of over 8,000 fans against Florida State; it seems likely that they will carry forward this momentum into their next game as well.


Fans should expect another strong performance from WFD as they seem poised to take control early in this matchup based on past performances and current form. The team appears well-prepared to extend its winning streak when they face off against CLEM in what is expected to be an electrifying atmosphere at Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum.


The scheduled tip-off is set for January 18th at 9:00 PM EST in Winston-Salem, NC. Fans eager not to miss any action can catch live coverage via ACC Network Extra online broadcast network.
