WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - The Wake Forest men's basketball team is looking to get back in the win column this week when they host in-state opponent Western Carolina Tuesday night inside The Joel Coliseum.
The Deacs (4-1, 0-0) are coming off their first true road test of the season over the weekend, falling 75-60 to Big East power Xavier (4-0, 0-0).
Hunter Sallis finished with a team-high 16 points, having now led the Deacs in scoring in each of the last three contests. The senior guard is now only five points away from reaching 1,000 for his collegiate career. Sallis also added five rebounds while netting all four of his free-throw attempts.
Making his first career start, Davin Cosby contributed 13 points with an efficient 66.7 field goal percentage. The sophomore guard went 3-of-5 for distance and has now made eight triples in his last two showings.
Tre'Von Spillers finished with eight points and nine rebounds in 36 minutes played. Efton Reid III posted nine points, four rebounds and two steals.
Churchill Abass came off the bench to contribute six points (3-of-4 shooting) and four rebounds in nine minutes of action. Wake Forest shot 46.8 percent from the field as a unit for the game, including a 56.5 second-half clip.
Series History
Versus Western Carolina
Series: Wake Forest leads 2-0
Last: Nov. 12, 2021
Result: W, 87-75, in Winston-Salem
The Matchup
The Catamounts are led by first-year head coach Tim Craft and are coming off a dominant 99-64 win over NAIA opponent Truett McConnell. Western Carolina used a season-high 14 3-pointers led by five from junior guard Ice Emery and a defense that limited Truett McConnel to just 24 points in the second half.
Returning just four players from last year's roster with only one seeing playing time a year ago, Western Carolina was picked to finish eighth in the Southern Conference preseason poll. The Catamounts will look to senior Bernard Pelote to help lead WCU into the season as the lone player returning to the Purple & Gold who logged minutes last year.
Tuesday night's tipoff inside LJVM will air live on ACC Network with Roy Philpott and Malcolm Huckaby on the call. Fans can follow along via the Demon Deacons Twitter, Instagram and Facebook accounts (@WakeMBB).
