Wake Forest Demon Deacons vs Notre Dame Fighting Irish prediction
The Wake Forest Demon Deacons are the better team at both ends of the floor, and them pulling away here wouldn't be surprising. However, Notre Dame has figured something out over these last couple of weeks and has won 3 of its last 4 games. Notre Dame is at its best at home, where 7 of its 10 wins have come, and the confidence should be as high as it's been all year. At the Purcell Pavilion, this likely won't be an easy game for Wake Forest. I'll take a stab with the free buckets with the Irish.
