Wake Forest Demon Deacons News

Cooper Schwieger - Seeing extended run Schwieger posted four points (2-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist across 24 minutes during Tuesday's 91-79 loss to SMU.

Impact Schwieger has started three of the last four games while frontcourt running mate Omaha Biliew has been working through a foot injury, but it hasn't been enough to make much of a fantasy impact. Schwieger has averaged just 5.8 ppg over that four-game stretch, his rebounding numbers have declined, and his best outing -- a season-high nine points against North Carolina on Jan. 10 -- came in the one game of that run when Biliew was given the start. In other words, there's not much fantasy value in the Wake Forest frontcourt outside of perhaps Tre'Von Spillers (11.5 ppg, 5.7 rpg).

Omaha Biliew - Hasn't returned to pre-injury form Biliew logged four points (1-6 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one steal in 21 minutes during Tuesday's 91-79 loss to SMU.

Impact Biliew hasn't been quite the same since suffering a foot injury in early-January. The junior forward wasn't necessarily a major offensive factor early in the year, but but he did record a double-double with a season-high 18 points to begin ACC play. Since the injury came to light, however, he's recorded a total of just six points in four games. That includes a start last Saturday against Florida State in which he was held scoreless in just four minutes of play. Biliew saw more run off the bench Tuesday but struggled with his shot. Backup Cooper Schwieger hasn't exactly been much of an improvement, though, so the door is open for Biliew to regain his previous role. A tough matchup Saturday at Duke awaits.

Myles Colvin - Experiencing breakout season Colvin ended Tuesday's 91-79 loss to SMU with 17 points (6-12 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 26 minutes.

Impact After starting the season in a reserve role, Colvin entered the starting five back on Dec. 6 and hasn't looked back. Through 10 games as a starter, the junior Purdue transfer has averaged 13.7 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.3 steals, planting him firmly on the fantasy radar. He's also been more efficient in a starting capacity, shooting 51.1 percent from the field and 39.6 percent from distance over that stretch. While Colvin's individual stock has risen tremendously, he and the Demon Deacons have a tough road matchup ahead Saturday against Duke.

Juke Harris - Fills stat sheet admirably Harris supplied 27 points (10-17 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 2-5 FT), six rebounds, three assists, two blocks and three steals over 38 minutes during Tuesday's 91-79 loss to SMU.

Impact Even though Wake Forest lost by 12 points, Harris delivered an impressive stat line after notching at least two tallies in each of the five major categories. The sophomore forward has been one of the best players in the ACC this month, averaging 22.6 points, 5.6 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 2.0 steals and 0.6 blocks per game in five January contests.

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 - Good to go Saturday Spillers (undisclosed) will play Saturday versus UNC.

Impact Spillers is officially set to play Saturday after having popped up on the injury report earlier in the day. He is averaging 11.7 points, 5.9 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.4 blocks across 16 games played this season.

JANUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Omaha Biliew - Available to play Saturday Biliew (undisclosed) is available for Saturday' game against UNC.

Impact Biliew was a game-time call for Saturday, but he'll be available and should handle his regular workload in the frontcourt. He's averaging 6.3 points and 2.4 rebounds per game this season.

Omaha Biliew - Probable for Saturday Biliew (undisclosed) is probable for Saturday's game against UNC.

Impact Biliew was questionable ahead of Wednesday's loss to Miami and ended up playing 17 minutes off the bench. It wouldn't be surprising if he carries the same workload for this game, considering he's now listed as probable.

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.

JANUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE

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.

JANUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Omaha Biliew - Minimal impact Biliew (foot) finished with zero points (0-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound and two steals in 17 minutes during Wednesday's 81-77 loss to Miami (FL).

Impact Biliew saw consistent playing time off the bench. However, he was unable to make a big impact across the board and his final stat line was almost empty. Biliew at least proved to be healthy enough to continue playing regularly going forward.

JANUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Omaha Biliew - Questionable vs. Miami Biliew (foot) is listed as a game-time decision for Wednesday's contest against Miami.

Impact Biliew is in danger of missing his first game of the season as he deals with a foot injury. The junior center has averaged 6.7 points and 2.5 rebounds on 20.1 minutes across 15 starts this season.

JANUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Isaac Carr - Available Wednesday Carr (undisclosed) is off the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against Miami.

Impact Carr is set to return to action after a two-game absence due to an injury. The 6-foot-4 guard will hope to earn more opportunities as he has not logged over 11 minutes on the court this season.
