The Wake Forest Demon Deacon sports blog where Charlie Brown is still trying to kick that football...
The Tar Heels have been a media lightning rod since hiring legendary NFL coach Bill Belichick in the offseason. Despite all the off-field stories and the pretty terrible start to the season, the Heels have started to figure things out a little bit recently. After losing to both Cal and Virginia on basically 1 play […]
The Deacs dropped their first game of the season tonight to the Michigan Wolverine by a score of 84-85. Wake started off the game pretty well, using an 8-0 run in the first few minutes to grab a lead. Ultimately, the story of the half would be foul trouble, as the Deacs struggled to deal […]

The Deacs are going bowling! Wake Forest went into Charlottesville and knocked off the 14th ranked Virginia Cavaliers to get their 6th win of the season. The Deacs did exactly what they needed to do in this one to pull off the upset—turn the game into a defensive slugfest and capitalize on big plays. The […]

The Deacs moved to 2-0 on the season after taking down Morehead State by a score of 81-65. This was one where the final score was not representative of the game, because I really don’t think the Deacs played very well in this one. The story of the first half was free throw shooting. The […]
The Wake Forest Demon Deacons (7-4-6, 2-3-3 ACC) saw their ACC title defense end in the first round, finding themselves on the short end of a 5-4 shootout with the SMU Mustangs (8-4-4, 3-2-3 ACC) For the Deacs, this result will likely end their season, as they sit 47th in the RPI rankings, likely well […]

After a tough game against the Noles last weekend, the Deacs do not get much of a break as they head to Charlottesville to take on an 8-1 Virginia team that is currently unbeaten in conference play and has their sights set on the ACC Championship Game. With their win over Cal last weekend, the […]
The 10-seed Wake Forest Demon Deacons (7-3-6, 2-3-3 ACC) open ACC tournament play this evening in Dallas, taking on the 7-seed SMU Mustangs (7-4-4, 3-2-3 ACC). For the Deacs, this game will have to be the first in a series of victories for the sake of their NCAA tournament hopes, as they currently sit 44th […]
The first game of the 2025-26 season is officially in the books, and the Deacs are 1-0. It’s really hard to tell a whole lot from these early buy games, but the thing that gave me a lot of confidence in this team was the ball movement on offense. The Deacs were swinging the ball […]

Well, that one was pretty bad. The Deacs went on the road to a Florida State team that had lost 4 games in a row, and they never had a chance. By the time Wake finally got on the score board, the game had been over for probably an entire quarter. With the loss, the […]

After a big win over SMU last weekend, the Deacs are on the road to take on a Florida State team that is yet to win an ACC game. With the Noles potentially on the verge of a coaching change after losing their last 4 games, the media narrative around the program may be giving […]
Basketball season is upon us once again, and I can truthfully say that I have no idea what to expect from the team this year. With the Deacs missing the First Round of the NCAA Tournament yet again last season (the 15th season in a row) and returning just 18.8 points per game off of […]
The Wake Forest Demon Deacons (10-3-4, 4-2-3 ACC) earned a big result on Sunday, playing to a 1-1 draw with the #1 Notre Dame Fighting Irish (13-0-2, 8-0-1 ACC) at Spry. This was a great result for the Deacs, and, although they are still behind the pack, it does keep them in the ACC Tournament […]

What a win for Wake Forest! After a roller coaster in the final minute of the game, the Deacs came out on top and handed SMU their first ever ACC regular season loss. The hero of the game was Connor Calvert, who made a career long 50-yard field goal as time expired to move Wake […]
