For the first time in a decade, Wake Forest’s first ACC game will be at home.
It’ll just come later in the season than every other team opens league play and it’ll be played while students are home during winter break.
The Deacons open ACC play with a Dec. 30 game against Virginia Tech at Joel Coliseum. Wake Forest's last ACC opener at home was in the 2013-14 season.
Wake Forest is coming off a 19-14 season in which it was 10-10 in the ACC. The Deacons have a promising core of returners led by Cameron Hildreth, Andrew Carr and Damari Monsanto, who will mesh with high-profile transfers Hunter Sallis, Kevin Miller and possibly Efton Reid III.
