Wake Forest Clashes with Florida State in Greensboro Showdown

In their last outing during the ACC First Round Game 3, Wake Forest edged out a narrow victory over Virginia Cavaliers with a final score of 58-55. This win showcased Wake Forest's resilience and ability to perform under pressure, particularly in the fourth quarter where they scored an impressive 23 points. Despite struggling with turnovers (15 total), they managed an assist-turnover ratio of 0.6 and capitalized on points off turnovers with ten crucial points.
Defensively, Wake Forest held strong with seven steals and one block while also dominating on rebounds by securing 36 compared to Virginia's 34. Offensively, free throws were a strong suit for Wake Forest as they hit an impressive 81 percent from the line. However, field goal percentage stood at just 35 percent and three-point shots were made at a rate of only about one-third (31 percent).
