In a conference clash that saw the Wake Forest Demon Deacons face off against the Miami (FL) Hurricanes , the scoreboard told a tale of dominance and struggle. The Demon Deacons' season record now stands at 0-1 after a tough game that ended in a 47-77 loss. Despite their efforts, they were unable to match the intensity brought by the Hurricanes on their home court at Watsco Center.

From tip-off, it was clear that the Demon Deacons had an uphill battle ahead of them. They managed to put up only nine points in the first quarter compared to Miami's twenty. The second quarter saw an improvement with seventeen points scored by Wake Forest, but it was not enough to close in on Miami's consistent scoring pace which added another fourteen points to their tally.

The Wake Forest team struggled from beyond the arc with just five three-pointers made out of nineteen attempts, translating into a mere twenty-six percent success rate. Their two-point attempts didn't fare much better; twelve out of thirty-seven shots found their mark resulting in thirty-two percent shooting accuracy from closer range.

On defense, Wake Forest managed six steals and two blocks but this defensive effort was overshadowed by thirteen blocked shots from Miami who also racked up thirteen steals over the course of play. The rebounding battle was closely contested; however, Wake Forest secured thirty-five rebounds against Miami's thirty-nine.

The Demon Deacons' offensive efforts were led by contributions across various statistics: forty-seven total points scored with twenty-two coming from inside the paint and seven off turnovers caused by aggressive play. However, ball handling proved problematic as they turned over possession nineteen times while only assisting on twelve field goals made – an assists turnover ratio that reflected some difficulties in maintaining control under pressure.

Miami capitalized on these turnovers scoring twenty-nine points as a result and displayed efficient shooting throughout all four quarters ending with forty-nine percent field goal accuracy including forty-three percent from three-point range which contributed significantly to their seventy-seven point finish.

As for free throws, Wake Forest showed composure making eight out of eleven attempts giving them seventy-three percent success rate at the charity stripe – one area where they held an edge over Miami who shot sixty percent on fewer attempts.

Looking ahead for Wake Forest fans eager for redemption after this tough outing: The next game will be hosted against Syracuse Orange at Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum located in Winston-Salem NC. This upcoming match is scheduled for January 11th at 11:30 AM local time and can be watched live via ACC Network Extra online platform ensuring supporters won't miss any action as their team looks to bounce back strong.
