The Wake Forest Demon Deacon sports blog where Charlie Brown is still trying to kick that football...
The Deacs desperately needed to bounce back after losing to Oklahoma on their home court earlier this week, and bounce back they did. Behind 28 points from sophomore Juke Harris, Wake Forest defeated West Virginia by a score of 75-66 to pick up their 7th win of the season. After the loss on Tuesday, head […]

That was a disaster. In Wake’s first meaningful game in front of the home fans, the Deacs were completely run out of the gym by the Oklahoma Sooners by a score of 86-68. Wake was just bad at every level in this one, and they fall to 1-3 in non-buy games this season. I don’t […]

That was not the ending to the regular season Wake Forest was hoping for. With a 10-win season still in the cards for the Deacs, Wake played maybe their worst game of the season, constantly shooting themselves in the foot to play themselves right out of what was a very winnable game. That simply did […]

It wasn’t pretty, but the Deacs moved to 6-2 after taking down the Northeastern Huskies by a score of 86-73. The first half was definitely not the Wake Forest team we have come to expect this season. That is sort of expected since it is the day after Thanksgiving, but the Deacs just seemed kind […]

The Deacs have a pretty big game this weekend against in-state rival Duke with some pretty big implications for both teams—Duke can keep their ACC Championship Game hopes alive with a win (they will still need a lot of help to get there) and Wake can get to 9 wins for the 4th time in […]

I don’t really have much to say about this one—that was an absolutely beat down. Wake Forest dominated the Camels the entire game, leading by as much as 51 points in the 2nd half, to grab their 5th win of the season in blowout fashion. This game was over as soon as it got going. […]

What a finish! Wake managed to pull off the improbable buzzer beating 3-point shot with 1 second on the clock—for the second night in a row! The Deacs ran the exact same play they ran last night against Texas Tech and got the exact same result, only this time, the shot actually mattered. Down by […]

Well, that felt like Deja vu. After being down double digits for much of the first half, the Deacs turned things around and managed to take command of the game through most of the second half, only to lose the lead and once again come up 1 point short of a signature win. It was […]

It is the final home game of the 2025 football season, and the Deacs are taking on a Delaware team that has done pretty well for their first ever season in FBS. At 5-5, the Fightin’ Blue Hens would be playing for bowl eligibility on Saturday if they weren’t on year 2 of their FBS […]
