While North Carolina hasn’t an Atlantic Coast Conference opponent other then themselves since Saturday January 3, 2025 when they lost to SMU in Dallas Texas by score of 97-83 Wake Forest the team they’re facing, opposing has as they played Miami in Winston -Salem where they lost by a score of 81-77 where Juke Harris who is a guard a sophomore was 9-15 on field goals , 4-8 on 3 pointers , 6-10 on free throws to go along with 2 rebounds, 1 assists , 3 steals , 1 block, 28 points.

Following Wake Forest 81-77 loss to Miami in Winston -Salem on Wednesday January 7, 2026 Head Coach Steve Forbes shared his thoughts by saying Coming into the game, I felt like there were some really key things we had to do to win. One was guarding the ball off the dribble. They get about 46 points a game in the paint. I know the stat says they have 42, but that doesn't count all the times they drove in there and got fouled and went to the free-throw line. So, it was even more than that. We had a hard time keeping [Tre] Donaldson and [Tru] Washington out of there. They're really good downhill drivers scoring in transition.
"You know, we got disorganized a couple times that hurt us late, and that was another key. Miami likes to get in the paint, early in transition. Offensive rebounds, obviously, were huge. We only held them to three of those in the first half. They had 10 in the second – they got like 45 percent of their misses, and then their losses. When you get more chances–and you get way more free attempts–you're almost doubling up your makes to our attempts. It's a hard way to win the game.
"I thought the game changed with about five minutes left in the game. We had a five-point lead. Got an offensive rebound. We work every day on shotgun, where we kick it out, pass, pass, pass. We ended up throwing up a not very good shot in the lane. They came down and missed in transition. We didn't get the rebound, and they scored. I think they won an 11-0 run there. Then, late in the game, we can't get the ball inbounds against not much pressure on a made free throw. We went to the wrong side, made a casual pass and a casual attempt to catch it, and they got the ball. Then, they get an offensive rebound and score, and we still have a chance to tie and miss a couple free throws. So, it was a hard fought game. I think Miami's got a good basketball team again. It's a hard loss at home, especially in the league. Now, we have to go get one on the road."
