Wake Forest Faces UMass Lowell for the First Time Sunday at LJVM Coliseum
11/15/2025 2:22:00 PM | Men's Basketball
The Demon Deacons are coming off a hard-fought neutral site showdown against No. 6 Michigan.
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - The Wake Forest men's basketball team (2-1, 0-0 ACC) will return to LJVM Coliseum – where the Demon Deacons have accumulated a 63-10 home record since 2021 – for a Sunday afternoon showdown with UMass Lowell (1-3, 0-0 America East).
This first-ever meeting between the Demon Deacons and River Hawks will tip at 2 p.m. and be streamed on ACC Network Extra.
Last Time Out
The Demon Deacons battled No. 6 Michigan in an overtime thriller during the second Wolverine-Deacon Challenge Showdown on Tuesday night, ultimately coming up just short, 85-84, at the Little Caesars Arena in Detroit.
Sophomore guard Juke Harris led the way for the Deacs, finishing the game with 19 points on 6-of-14 shooting. The Salisbury, N.C., native also recorded six rebounds, two steals, and an assist.
Defensively, the Demon Deacons continued their outstanding three-point defense as they held Michigan to 4-of-25 (16 percent) from beyond the arc, including 1-of-13 (7.7 percent) in the second half to help erase a 13-point halftime deficit. Wake Forest has now held their first three opponents to 19-of-86 from three-point territory (22.1 percent).
The Deacs also forced 17 turnovers on the night, bringing their season total to 53 forced turnovers.
Defend Home Court
Wake Forest men's basketball has built one of college basketball's premier home court advantages over the last five seasons, as the Demon Deacons have collected a 63-10 at LJVM Coliseum since 2021—tied nationally for the fifth-most home wins over that period.
Deacs In The Non-Con
Wake Forest's 76.6 winning percentage in non-conference play since 2021-22 and the 36 victories in out of conference regular season action during that span are the third-best marks in the ACC.
Early Returns From Juke
Now in his second season with the Demon Deacons, sophomore Juke Harris has already showcased his talents across the board for Wake Forest.
Entering this weekend's action, Harris is one of only nine players nationally to currently average more than 22 points and seven rebounds per game. Additionally, at 22 points per game, the Salisbury, N.C., native ranks tied for fourth nationally in points per game by sophomores.

Defending The Three
After finishing last season with the ACC's top three-point defense, the Demon Deacons have once again made it difficult on opponents from downtown so far this season. After Michigan hit on a program-record 19 threes in its opener, Wake Forest held the Wolverines to 4-of-25 (16 percent) from downtown in Tuesday's contest.
Through Friday's action, Wake Forest ranks third in the ACC in three-point defense.
Series History: Wake Forest vs. UMass Lowell
Sunday's contest marks the second matchup for the River Hawks against a power conference opponent this season after UMass Lowell faced current No. 4 UConn last week.
Three different UMass Lowell players are averaging double figures in scoring through four games, led by Austin Green's 13.5 points per game.
