No. 17 UNC Men's Basketball Hosts Wake Forest: TV info, stats, scouting Deacons, keys to game, notes

Posted Jan 9, 2026
Wake Forest’s 3-point shooting has been streaky (but was 11 of 21 Wednesday vs. Miami), so forcing tough possessions and turnovers can swing momentum. The Deacons have made less than 30% of their 3-point attempts in nine of 16 games but have scored double-digit 3-pointers in six games. Wake Forest is 17th in defensive rebounding in the ACC.
