Wake Forest Mens Basketball Secures NIT Spot, Hosts Navy in First Round

The Wake Forest Demon Deacons, led by head coach Steve Forbes, have secured a spot in the National Invitation Tournament (NIT) as the number one seed in the Winston-Salem region. They will host Navy in the first round at seven p.m. on March eighteenth, with the game airing nationally on ESPNU. This is the teams third postseason appearance under Forbes, with previous strong showings including wins over Towson and VCU in the 2022 NIT and a victory against Appalachian State in 2024. The Deacons finished the regular season with seventeen wins, twelve of them at LJVM Coliseum, tying for eleventh nationally and second in the ACC since 2021. Standout sophomore Juke Harris had a historic year, earning ACC Most Improved Player and second-team All-ACC honors, while senior Nate Calmese stepped up after injuries. Tickets go on sale Monday at nine a.m. through GoDeacs.com or by phone, with parking updates online due to campus construction.
