Sun Mar 02 00:10:00 UTC 2025: ## Notre Dame Faces Wake Forest in Crucial Rematch at LJVM Coliseum
**Winston-Salem, NC** – The Notre Dame Fighting Irish men’s basketball team will face off against Wake Forest at the LJVM Coliseum tonight, in a rematch of last year’s ACC Tournament clash. The Demon Deacons emerged victorious in that meeting, winning 72-59. The all-time series between the two teams is currently tied at 9-9.
Notre Dame enters the game with a key offensive challenge, ranking 69th nationally in offensive efficiency according to KenPom. However, the Irish will be buoyed by the recent milestone achievement of guard Markus Burton, who reached 1,000 career points this week, becoming the seventh-fastest player in program history to accomplish the feat. Burton is also on the verge of joining David Rivers as only the second Notre Dame player to average 20 points and 3 assists per game in a single season.
The game will be broadcast on The CW, with Thom Brennaman and Mike Gminski providing commentary.
