North Carolina and Wake Forest Face Off in Pivotal ACC Quarterfinals

Both teams aim to secure NCAA Tournament hopes in their first ACC tournament meeting in 25 years.

North Carolina advanced to the ACC quarterfinals after a dominant 76-56 win over Notre Dame, led by Jae'Lyn Withers' career-high seven 3-pointers.
Wake Forest, the fourth seed, received a double-bye and enters the matchup after finishing its best regular season since 2008-09.
Both teams are considered to be on the NCAA Tournament bubble, making Thursday's game critical for their postseason aspirations.
Wake Forest's Hunter Sallis, a two-time All-ACC first-team selection, leads the team with 18 points per game and will be key against North Carolina's defense.
The winner of the game will face either Duke or Georgia Tech in the ACC semifinals.
