WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - The Wake Forest men's basketball team will wrap up their five-game homestand on Tuesday, Nov. 23 against Kennesaw State in the first ever meeting between the two programs.
The Demon Deacons (4-0) are coming off an 87-63 victory over North Carolina A&T on Saturday in which Alondes Williams (19 points), Daivien Williamson (17 points), and Isaiah Mucius (16 points) combined for 53 points on 18-of-28 shooting.
Wake Forest put together strong offensive and defensive performances as the Deacs shot 52.7 percent from the field while holding the Aggies to just 39.0 percent shooting. As a team, Wake Forest knocked down 16 triples for just the sixth time in program history, and first time since the 2016-17 season (LSU, 12/22/16).
After four games, Alondes Williams (20.8 ppg, No. 2) and Daivien Williamson (17.0 ppg, No. 9) both currently rank top-10 in the ACC in scoring.
The Owls (2-3) are coming off a 97-78 loss to Belmont last Friday and are led by third-year coach Amir Abdur-Rahim. Abdur-Rahim's roster boasts three seniors, and six players who started 10 or more games last season for Kennesaw State.
Tipoff in Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum is scheduled for 8 p.m. and the game will air live on ACC Network.
