Wake Forest fell to Notre Dame by a final score of 80-77 in the opening round of the ACC Tournament on Tuesday night.

The Demon Deacons (6-16, 3-15) held as large of a lead as 16 points in the second half, but fell to the Fighting Irish (11-14, 7-11) at the buzzer after Carter Whitt knocked down a jumper to tie the game at 77 with under a minute remaining.

Junior forward Isaiah Mucius notched a 20 point, 12 rebound double-double in the contest, his first double-double of the season and fourth of his career. The East Patchogue, N.Y. native's 12 rebounds are a career high, and his six offensive rebounds are a new career high against ACC competition.

Wake Forest also received key contributions from junior guard Daivien Williamson and freshman guard Carter Whitt.

Williamson led the Deacs in scoring with 21 points on 8-of-11 shooting from the field and a perfect 5-of-5 from beyond the arc. The Winston-Salem, N.C. native is the first Demon Deacon to go perfect from beyond the arc on at least five attempts in an ACC tournament game.

With 12 points and seven assists, Whitt became the first freshman to post at least 10 points and five assists in an ACC tournament game since Bryant Crawford scored 19 points and 6 assists in the opening round of the 2016 ACC Tournament. Additionally, the Raleigh, N.C. native's seven dimes are the most by a freshman in the ACC tournament since Ish Smith tallied 15 assists in the opening round of the 2007 ACC tournament.
