The LJVM Advantage
Behind the passion of Deacon Nation and the tutelage of head coach Steve Forbes, Wake Forest men's basketball has built one of college basketball's premier home court advantages over the last four seasons, as the Demon Deacons have collected a 61-10 at LJVM Coliseum since 2021—tied nationally for the fourth-most home wins over that period.

Wake Forest Women's Basketball Overview
Heading into the fourth season of the Megan Gebbia era, the Demon Deacons restocked the roster with an infusion of exciting young talent as well as veteran transfers, adding eight new players in total ahead of the 2025-26 season.
On National Signing Day, Wake Forest inked a group of promising incoming players from around the world including two players from Australia.
The roster also has key transfer additions who will look to make an immediate impact this season including all-conference selections in Raven Preston from Elon and Mary Carter from Cal Poly. Additionally, the Deacs also signed Colorado transfer forward Grace Oliver who was a four-star recruit by ESPNW (92 grade prospect) and was the No. 84 ranked player in the country in 2023.
Assists On Made Baskets
