It’s Clemson vs. Wake Forest in the second round of the ACC Tournament, and we’ve got a clear stylistic mismatch.
The rested Tigers are likely to turn this into a half-court battle, which doesn’t bode well for a free-flowing game.
Read why I'm expecting a low-scoring affair in my Wake Forest vs. Clemson predictions and college basketball picks for Wednesday, March 11.
Wake Forest vs Clemson prediction
Wake Forest vs Clemson best bet
Wake Forest vs Clemson best bet: Under 140 (-116)
If Wake Forest had its way, there would be plenty of transition opportunities, but Clemson allows them at one of the lowest rates in the nation.
Wake’s primary actions this season have revolved around drives and kicks, but Clemson has been one of the better teams at shutting that down, allowing just 0.80 points per possession.
On the other end, I’m counting on the Tigers’ methodical tempo to keep Wake from putting up a crooked number.

Wake Forest vs Clemson same-game parlay
I expect Clemson to come out and set the tone early, especially with the Demon Deacons playing on back-to-back days. While Wake could pull off a surprise, it will likely come through second-half adjustments.
On paper, everything suggests the Tigers will hold the early edge.

Our beyond the arc SGP: Perfect Pairings
Clemson will run a lot of possessions deep into the shot clock, which is part of why I like the Under so much.
That will also increase usage for Juke Harris, one of the league’s top isolation scorers. Guaranteed volume from a proven bucket-getter makes this prop appealing.
I paired it with RJ Godfrey to exceed his rebound total. He’s one of the better rebounders on the floor, and the plus-money price was an easy play in a game expected to feature plenty of misses.
