Wake Forest’s tough day at Duke: What’s next?

Duke absolutely dominated Wake Forest in the paint, racking up three times as many points inside and grabbing 11 more second-chance points. Coach Forbes didn’t sugarcoat it—he called out his team’s struggles with defensive assignments and hustle for loose balls, saying it’s both demoralizing and embarrassing. Still, there were bright spots: Cameron Boozer looked every bit the future NBA star, and Juke Harris kept Wake in the fight with five threes. Forbes says changes could be coming, especially if the guards don’t step up. How do you think Wake Forest can turn things around? #Sports #Basketball #WakeForest

Wake Forest hoops debate heats up

Jeff Teague isn’t holding back when it comes to ranking Wake Forest’s greatest guards. He’s cool with legends like Tim Duncan, Chris Paul, and Muggsy Bogues being ahead of him, but he’s drawing the line at Randolph Childress. Teague’s take? Childress may have been a college star, but his brief NBA run doesn’t stack up to Teague’s All-Star nod and championship ring. Still, Childress’ college stats and legacy at Wake make this a real debate for fans. Who do you think deserves the higher spot in Wake Forest history? #Sports #Basketball #WakeForest

Wake Forest’s wild QB gamble has UNC fans talking

Wake Forest just picked up Gio Lopez from the transfer portal, and UNC fans can’t help but laugh. After a rough season in Chapel Hill, Lopez’s move to another ACC team—especially so quickly—has everyone scratching their heads. Wake Forest must be desperate for a quarterback, right? It’s hard not to wonder if this will be one of those classic college football twists where a player suddenly shines after leaving. Would you bet on Lopez turning things around at Wake? Or is this just another head-scratcher in the wild world of college football transfers? #Sports #Football #WakeForest

Wake Forest faces UNC’s home-court challenge

Wake Forest is heading into Chapel Hill looking for a statement win, but the real test will be matching UNC’s physicality on the boards. Despite shooting lights out from three last game, the Deacs got crushed in rebounding and points in the paint. With UNC’s big men Caleb Wilson and Henri Veesaar both averaging double-doubles, Wake’s ability to fight for rebounds could decide everything. The Dean Smith Center is sold out, and UNC is chasing its 500th win in the building. Can Wake Forest finally break the Tar Heels’ nine-game home streak? What do you think it’ll take for the Deacs to pull off the upset? #Sports #WakeForest #UNC

Wake Forest vs UNC: High stakes in Chapel Hill

Wake Forest heads into Chapel Hill knowing this game could define their season. The Demon Deacons have struggled to win comfortably lately, but a victory over #17 North Carolina would be a massive statement—and could shake up the ACC standings. The Tar Heels, fresh off a tough loss and a weeklong break, are either primed for a bounce-back or vulnerable to an upset. With both teams’ lineups at full strength, it’s a classic rest vs. rust scenario. Who do you think has the edge—hungry underdogs or a powerhouse with something to prove? #Sports #WakeForest #UNC
