The Wake Forest Demon Deacons men’s basketball team suffered a tough loss on Saturday in a non-conference game against the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns. The game, which took place at the LJVM Coliseum in Winston-Salem, ended with a final score of 75-61 in favor of Louisiana.
The Demon Deacons got off to a slow start in the game, allowing the Ragin’ Cajuns to take an early lead. Despite making a few comeback attempts throughout the game, Wake Forest was unable to overcome the deficit and ultimately fell short in the end.
Louisiana’s strong defensive play proved to be a major factor in the outcome of the game, as they were able to limit the Demon Deacons’ scoring opportunities and force turnovers. The Ragin’ Cajuns capitalized on these turnovers, converting them into points on the other end of the court.
Wake Forest’s leading scorers in the game were Alondes Williams and Jake LaRavia, who both contributed 13 points each. However, their efforts were not enough to secure a win for the Demon Deacons.
Despite the loss, Wake Forest head coach Steve Forbes remains optimistic about his team’s potential for the rest of the season. He emphasized the need for improvement in certain areas, particularly on the defensive end, in order to be more competitive in future games.
The Demon Deacons will look to bounce back from this loss as they continue their non-conference schedule in the coming weeks. Their next game is scheduled against another tough opponent, and they will be eager to showcase their resilience and determination in pursuit of a win.
