Well, if there was any hope of the Deacs climbing back onto the bubble by March, it is officially gone. Not only did Wake fall apart down the stretch and lose to one of the worst teams in the ACC, but they also lost their starting point guard and arguably their most important player when […]

This was a late game, and I really don’t have anything to good to say about what we just watched, so this one is going to be pretty quick. The Deacs were absolutely outclassed on their home court by the SMU Mustangs, who dominated Wake to the tune of 91-79. The final score really doesn’t […]

Nate Calmese saving the Deacs is starting to become a trend this season. After trailing for nearly the entire second half, Calmese’s contested floater with just 6 seconds remaining in the game gave Wake a 1-point lead and eventually the win over the Florida State Seminoles by a score of 69-68. This was definitely a […]

If you weren’t concerned with which team won, that was probably an incredibly entertaining game to watch. This was a back and forth affair that went right down to the wire, with both Miami and Wake trading baskets and leads for nearly the entire game. Unfortunately, we do care who won, so none of that […]

After an impressive 9-4 season that ended with a win over Mississippi State in the Duke’s Mayo Bowl, we have officially reached the offseason. That means its time for what I think many would consider the worst part of the current era of college sports—the transfer portal. We clearly have a problem with the sports […]

The Wake Forest Demon Deacons are Duke’s Mayo Bowl Champs! Led by a career night from senior QB Robby Ashford, the Deacs took down the Mississippi State Bulldogs 43-29 to claim one of the most coveted rewards in all of college football—4.5 gallons of mayonnaise. This game started off fast. The Bulldogs won the coin […]

I said after the last game that if the Deacs didn’t play better against Vanderbilt, the game was going to get ugly in a hurry. Unfortunately, that is exactly what happened in this one, as the Commodores completed blew Wake off their own home court and handed the Deacs their worse home loss since 2019 […]
