Midway through the second half, Wake Forest missed eight-straight three-pointers, but that didn’t matter when the final one of the game was taken. With under a second remaining on the clock, fifth-year senior Daivien Williamson drained a shot from deep to give Wake Forest the 77-74 victory over Syracuse, ending a winless streak at the ACC Tournament that went all the way back to 2017.
"It's kind of crazy how things come full circle," Williamson said in the postgame press conference. "The last two years, I put my head down ... get prepared for moments like this. I was confident in myself and I knocked the shot down."
