Wake Forest’s men’s basketball program will open its season with a much‑anticipated exhibition game against Georgetown on October 4 at 12:30 PM, held in the Joel Coliseum as part of the university’s Family Weekend celebrations.
Tickets are priced at $10 for general admission, while children younger than 12 and season ticket holders can attend free of charge, and the surrounding weekend will feature a series of family‑oriented activities at the LJVM Coliseum.
Roster Changes and Key Players
The Demon Deacons enter the matchup with a largely reshaped roster, anchored by returning guard Isaac Carr and bolstered by newcomers such as forward Kevair Kennedy, forward Antonio Dorn, and guard Lukas Bojovic, while additional pieces including Jamari McDowell, Ring Nyeri, Xander Pintelon, and the promising twin duo of Gavin Placide and his brother Gallagher aim to add depth and experience.
Georgetown’s Rebuilding Effort
Georgetown arrives after a turbulent offseason that saw three of its five starters transfer to other high‑major programs and a fourth exhaust their eligibility, leaving the Hoyas to rely on transfers Jaland Lowe, Elmarko Jackson and Vyctorius Miller, as well as guard KJ Lewis, who moved to USC after a season‑ending ankle injury.
Fans are eager to see how the new‑look squads will mesh, with Wake Forest’s fresh talent facing a Georgetown team that must integrate its recent acquisitions while coping with the loss of key contributors.
