Jaydon Young closed the game with a season-high 12 points, but the Tar Heels nearly squandered another second-half lead in an 87-84 victory.

Caleb Wilson went on a little run of his own to counter the Deacs' attack. Wake Forest was held scoreless between the twelve-minute and eight-minute media timeouts. It seemed like the Deacs became a little too reliant on threes and were not generating enough looks at the rim.
