Wake Forest Demon Deacons News

Nate Calmese - Heating up in January Calmese had 28 points (10-16 FG, 7-11 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, nine assists and two steals in 35 minutes during Saturday's 87-84 loss to North Carolina.

Impact Calmese was surprisingly held scoreless in the ACC opener against NC State on New Year's Eve, but he's since caught fire, averaging 24.0 ppg over his last three -- a stretch that also includes 20 total assists. The senior point guard, who is now with his fourth school in as many years, still has his work cut out for him with respect to getting to the NCAA Tournament. Wake Forest didn't exactly record many notable non-conference wins and is off to a 1-3 start to league play.

Tre'Von Spillers - Probable to play Saturday Spillers (undisclosed) is probable for Saturday's game against UNC.

Impact Spillers' numbers have been trending in the wrong direction of late, but he remains a key player in the frontcourt for Wake Forest. Despite scoring in single digits in five of his last six appearances, Spillers will be missed if he has to sit out this game. That said, the probable tag suggests he's likely to handle his regular workload Saturday.

Juke Harris - Scores game-high 28 points Harris contributed 28 points (9-15 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 6-10 FT), two rebounds, one assist, one block and three steals over 36 minutes during Wednesday's 81-77 loss to Miami (FL).

Impact Harris was the best player for Wake Forest in this tight loss to Miami, scoring a team-high 28 points and reaching the 20-point plateau for the first time since Dec. 6. This was the sixth time Harris has scored at least 20 points this season, and this role as Wake Forest's go-to option on offense is set in stone.

Isaac Carr - Likely to return Carr (undisclosed) is probable for Wednesday's game against Miami.

Impact Biliew has started all 14 games for Wake Forest this season but rarely makes a major impact on the box score, averaging 6.9 points and 2.6 rebounds across 20.5 minutes. That changed in Wednesday's ACC opener, as he led the team in scoring while setting a new season and career high en route to his first double-double. Given his previous inconsistency, however, as a well as the end result of the game, this likely isn't a sign of things to come.
