WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – The Wake Forest men's basketball team will continue their non-conference slate with a home contest against the Georgia Bulldogs on Friday night. This is the first of two games against SEC opponents this season.
The Demon Deacons (1-0, 0-0) are coming off of a 71-59 home victory over Fairfield on Monday night in the season opener.
Junior forward Andrew Carr scored 14 points on 6-of-9 shooting and five rebounds in the win, including the first 10 Wake Forest points in his team debut.
Freshman forward Bobi Klintman made an immediate impact off the bench for the Deacs in his collegiate debut. The Malmo, Sweden native recorded 11 points on 3-of-5 shooting in addition to a team-high six rebounds. Klintman played a pivotal role in a 10-0 run at the end of the first half.
As a team, the Deacs made the most of their trips to the free throw line, converting on 29-of-39 attempts from the charity stripe.
The Bulldogs (1-0, 0-0) are led by first year head coach Mike White. Prior to arriving in Athens, White spent seven seasons at Florida, where he compiled a 243-128 record. He coached Wake Forest guard Tyree Appleby in his last two seasons with the Gators.
Georgia opened its season with a 68-55 win over Western Carolina in Athens. The Bulldogs were led by junior guard Kario Oquendo, who finished the game with 18 points and three blocks. Oquendo was Georgia's leading scorer in the 2021-22 season with 15.2 points per game following his transfer from Florida Southwestern State.
Friday night's tipoff inside LJVM is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. and the game will stream live on ACC Network.
