The Fighting Irish have been on an impressive run, as evidenced by their recent victory over the Western Michigan Broncos on December 21st. With a commanding score of 84-47, Notre Dame displayed a level of play that should have the Demon Deacons concerned. The team's field goal percentage stood at a solid 45 percent and they were particularly strong in paint with 44 points. Their fast break points were also notable at 19, showing their ability to capitalize on turnovers.


Notre Dame's performance against Purdue Boilermakers on December 17th further cements their status as formidable opponents. They won with a comfortable margin of 76-39 and demonstrated exceptional shooting accuracy with a field goal percentage of nearly 51 percent and an impressive two-point shooting percentage of 56 percent.


Against Lafayette Leopards on December 7th, Notre Dame was unstoppable, securing an overwhelming victory with a scoreline of 96-42. Their offensive prowess was clear as they achieved a staggering two-point shooting percentage of over 63 percent and maintained high energy throughout the game which translated into fast break points totaling up to an impressive count of 24.


The consistency in Notre Dame’s gameplay is evident not just in scoring but also defensively where they averaged around seven blocks per game across these matches while maintaining low personal foul counts.


On the other side, Wake Forest will need more than just home-court advantage to counteract ND’s momentum. While specific statistics for Wake Forest are not provided here, it is crucial for them to strategize against ND’s aggressive offense and find ways to disrupt their rhythm if they hope to stand any chance against this powerhouse team.


In conclusion, based on recent performances and statistics alone, it would be reasonable to predict another dominant display from Notre Dame when they visit Winston-Salem later this month. Fans can expect another thrilling encounter as ND looks set to continue their winning streak.


Remember fans; mark your calendars for January 21st at Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum where you can catch all the action live starting from seven o'clock in the evening!
