Juke Harris delivered a stellar performance with 31 points and 15 rebounds, spearheading Wake Forest's remarkable comeback against Cal. The Demon Deacons secured an 80-73 victory in their Atlantic Coast Conference regular-season finale.
Wake Forest surrendered an early 11-0 run, finding themselves down 18-5 in the first half. However, they managed to chip away and trailed by eight at halftime. A decisive 14-0 run in the second half, ignited by Mekhi Mason, propelled Wake Forest into a commanding lead.
Despite Cal's late surge that narrowed the margin to a single point, Wake Forest held on to secure the win. Dai Dai Ames was a standout for Cal with 31 points, but it wasn't enough to overcome Wake Forest's resilient effort. Both teams now turn their attention to the ACC Tournament, which begins next week.
