Carmody also shot 5-of-5 from the line.

BC scored 51 points in the second half, shot 51.4 percent from the floor and used a 16-2 run over the final 1:28 of the game to pull away for the win.Â
A Win Would
- Give BC a 6-24 mark.Â
- Give the Eagles back-to-back ACC wins.
- Give BC a fourth straight win against Wake Forest in Conte Forum.Â
- Give the Eagles a sixth win in the past eight meetings against the Demon Deacons.Â
By the Numbers
2 - Lily Carmody is one of two players in the ACC averaging at least 12.5 points on under 10 shot attempts per game.Â
8 - Erin Houpt is eight points away from 1,000 for her career.Â
15 - There have been seven games where a player off the bench has scored at least 15 points.Â
17.7 - Carmody is fifth in the ACC in the month of February averaging 17.7 points per game.Â
272 - Jocelyne Grier is tied for first in the league and first among freshmen with 272 points off the bench.Â
What to Watch for
-Â Watch if BC can convert Wake Forest's miscues into points, as opponents average 20 points off turnovers in the Demon Deacons' losses.
- Lily Carmody continues her stellar play, averaging 17.7 points, 4.4 rebounds, shooting 54.7 percent from the field and 88 percent from the line over the last six games. The sophomore is coming off a career-high 27 points at SMU. See if she can continue her upward trend.
- See if the Eagles can get to the line after shooting 18-of-21 at SMU. Wake Forest is 1-7 this season when opponents attempt more than 15 free throws.
- Amirah Anderson is averaging 14 points over the last two games after not scoring in double digits in the previous five. Watch if the freshman can continue her scoring ways.
- Watch if the Eagles can come up with second-chance opportunities, as they are averaging 14.6 offensive rebounds over the past three games.Â
Scouting Wake Forest (13-14, 3-12 ACC)
- Wake Forest is on a three-game skid after falling to Notre Dame 78-54 in its previous outing.

- Milan Brown leads the team in rebounding at 6.5 per game.
- Wake Forest is sixth in the conference and top 50 in the nation, shooting 44.7 percent from the field.Â
