March Madness is typically a wild time for basketball fans, featuring games with underdog victories and games coming down to the last second. And day one of the ACC tournament did just that with Notre Dame versus Wake Forest.
The Fighting Irish s Cormac Ryan isolated Davien Williamson, forcing the Demon Deacon to attempt a jumper with three seconds left. Ryan blocked the shot, snagged the defensive rebound and pushed it up the court before passing it to Trey Wertz.
