Wake Forest eyes Bay Area sweep on visit to Cal

Wake Forest gets an opportunity to record an Atlantic Coast Conference first — a road sweep of the league’s new California schools — when it travels to Berkeley to take on Cal on Saturday afternoon.The Demon Deacons (17-6, 9-3) became the first ACC team to win a conference game at Stanford when they rode Cameron Hildreth’s 22 points and a strong defensive effort on Cardinal star Maxime Raynaud to a 79-73 triumph Wednesday night.On the other side of the San Francisco Bay, Cal (12-11, 5-7) welcomed back star Andrej Stojakovic from a hip injury in a 74-62 victory over North Carolina State.The Golden Bears already have lost three ACC games at home — to Stanford, Virginia Tech and Syracuse.Cal responded to a players-only meeting with one of its best team efforts of the season in the win over NC State. The Golden Bears totaled 16 assists on 27 baskets against the Wolfpack after having had just four on 18 buckets in their previous game against Syracuse.”It went from a famine to a feast,” Cal coach Mark Madsen said. “There was a lot of emotion behind that because after the Syracuse game, our guys were upset (and) the staff was upset because the ball wasn’t moving.”
