WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina (Ticker) - Losing home games is
something No. 16 Wake Forest does not want to get used to.

The Demon Deacons look to rebound from the ending of their
21-game home winning streak when they host struggling Princeton
on Saturday.

Wake Forest came off a nine-day gap between games with Tuesday's
84-81 loss to DePaul. Eric Williams scored 24 points and
Justin Gray added 12 for the Demon Deacons, who missed 13 foul
shots and had a season-low 30 rebounds.

The loss also snapped Wake Forest's streak of 28 consecutive
home victories against non-conference opponents.

After a nine-point victory against Wyoming last Saturday,
Princeton tied a Division I record for fewest points since the
establishment of the three-point rule in 1986 with Wednesday's
41-21 loss to Monmouth.

The Tigers were held scoreless for nearly 15 minutes in the
second half and posted their lowest point total since March 14,
1936.

Normally among the nation's top defensive teams, Princeton
allows an average of 54 points this season. Wake Forest has
scored fewer than 60 just twice in the past five years.

Princeton won the last encounter against Wake Forest, 69-64, on
December 19, 1997, to even the all-time series, 1-1.
