GREENSBORO, N.C. - The Wake Forest men's basketball team has its first high-major contest of the season Sunday, Nov. 10, when they face the Michigan Wolverines inside newly-minted First Horizon Coliseum (formerly Greensboro Coliseum).
Behind five Demon Deacons in double figures, Wake Forest earned its 50th win inside Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum since the start of the 2021-22 season, using a strong second half performance to defeat North Carolina A&T, 80-64, earlier this week.
Leading the Demon Deacons offensively with 15 points on a 7-for-14 (50.0 percent) shooting effort, senior forward Tre'von Spillers recorded his first double-double as a Demon Deacon, matching his career-high with 16 rebounds. The Charleston, S.C. native was active on the glass all night, pulling in the most rebounds by a Wake Forest student-athlete since Olivier Sarr's 17 against Notre Dame on Feb. 29, 2020.
Senior guard Hunter Sallis crept closer to the 1,000-career point mark as the Omaha, Nebraska native now sits just 62 points from the milestone as he finished just behind Spillers with 14 points of his own.
All five Demon Deacon starters finished the game with double-digit scoring nights, as seniors Efton Reid III and Cameron Hildreth recorded 12 and 11 points respectively, while sophomore Parker Friedrichsen finished the game with 10 points.
Wake Forest was dominant on the glass, outrebounding the Aggies by a 49-29 margin, leading to 38 points in the paint while holding NC A&T to just 16 points in the lane. The 49 rebounds for the Demon Deacons marked the most since collecting 53 vs. Florida State on Jan. 4, 2022.
