Men's Basketball Overview
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 five seasons, as the Demon Deacons have collected a 74-17 at LJVM Coliseum since 2021—tied nationally for the seven-most home wins over that period.
The Demon Deacons enter the 2026-27 season with a reloaded roster, which includes MAAC Player of the Year and Rookie of the Year Kevair Kennedy, versatile Kansas addition Jamari McDowell and sharpshooter Justin Ray along with size in Ring Nyeri, Antonio Dorn and Xander Pintelon.
Wake Forest also welcomes talented freshmen twins Gallagher and Gavin Placide.
Women's Basketball Overview
The Demon Deacons will step into year five of the Megan Gebbia era this winter, coming off a 2025-26 season that saw the program tally 14 wins and open with nine straight, good for its best start since the 2008-09 campaign when the team had 12 consecutive wins. Additionally, Wake Forest was the last undefeated team in the ACC and one of just 28 teams in the country to win its first nine games of the season. The Deacs went on to make an appearance in the 2026 WNIT - its second year of participation in the event within the last four seasons.
Six players make up Wake Forest's returning core – Aurora Sørbye, Mary Carter, Opal Bird, Madisyn Jordan, Grace Galbavy and Savannah Metcalfe.
Starting as a forward, Carter was the second leading scorer for the team this past winter, averaging 11.0 points per game during her first year in Winston-Salem. The Rocklin, Calif., native also led the Deacs in three-pointers made (70) and free throw percentage (.864). Sørbye paced the team in both total assists (95) and assists per game as a sophomore (3.0) while appearing in all 32 contests and adding 7.2 points a night. Bird had an immediate first-year impact, tying with Carter as the team leader in blocks (21) while also ranking second among ACC freshmen in assists per game (2.8). Jordan and Galbavy provided valuable depth for the team as perimeter pieces while Metcalfe made 14 appearances as a freshman before her season was cut short due to injury.
Wake Forest has added a total of seven newcomers on scholarship to the 2026-27 roster, featuring four freshmen and three transfers:
