Wake Forest vying to be more physical at No. 17 North Carolina

Wake Forest renews its rivalry with No. 17 North Carolina when the Demon Deacons visit the Tar Heels on Saturday in Chapel Hill, N.C.

The Deacs (10-6, 1-2 ACC) are in need of a bounce-back game -- and a resume-boosting signature win -- after falling 81-77 on Wednesday at home to Miami.

Despite posting its best 3-point shooting performance of the season -- making 11 of 21 shots behind the arc for a 52.4% clip -- Wake lost the rebounding battle by 17, allowed Miami to shoot 50% from the floor and was outscored 42-20 in the paint.
