Recap: Juke Harris’s 29 Points Pushes Wake Past Morehead State
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 […]

Recap: Wake Forest Starts Season with 88-74 Win over American
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 […]
