There are high expectations for Marek Houston this season. The Deacon shortstop is highly acclaimed for his on-field performance, but he’s taking on an additional role this year: leader.

THATS where I want Cam Hildreth.
I think it’s time to give Cam Hildreth the red light from three.
I guess it’s always been Mother So Dear for me…
Officially Wake Forest University Class of 2029!!
Well, it wasn’t necessarily the prettiest of wins, but the Efton Reid-less Deacs take down Detroit Mercy in the Joel as Hunter Sallis dropped 31 points.
Wake Forest 67
Detroit Mercy 57
FINAL
Lovejoy drills a three. Timeout Wake.
Single digit lead for the Deacs, 63-54 with 2:19 to go.
You know those “that dude is going to be really good” moments?
Juke Harris has a lot of those.
Sallis picks up his third foul just before the under-12.
Deacs lead 51-37.
Sallis is 4-of-5 from three as he drills ANOTHER.
22 points for the Deacon superstar with 14:15 to go in the second half.
It has not been Cam Hildreth’s best day.
Hunter Sallis has 19 as he drills a contested three.
The Deacs get two quick steals and two quick buckets and Steve Forbes is HYPED.
Sallis just snatched the inbounds and laid it right in.
Wake Forest 36
Detroit Mercy 23
HALFTIME
Rebounding has been the struggle for a Wake Forest team missing Efton Reid and Omaha Biliew. The offense and defense have been strong.
Sallis picks up his second personal.
Detroit Mercy leads the rebound battle 28-16.
11-2 on offensive rebounds.
Wake’s defense has been great, but they’ve got to be able to get boards after they force bad shots.
Deacs lead 30-19 at the under-4
Looks like Detroit Mercy is in a zone.
Sallis drops the hammer in transition!
(Scheduled tweet)
Juke is fouled and hits the deck hard.
He’ll be at the line after the under-8 as the Deacs lead 25-19.
Abass attended the Efton Reid School for Reputation Fouls, I see.
Hildreth limps back into the Wake Forest bench.
We’ll see if he’s good to go.
Hunter Sallis with an electric chase down block in transition!!
Can Hildreth is in pain. It’s a right leg injury and he immediately comes off the court and into the tunnel.
To the under-12, Deacs lead 22-11. Strong offensive showing thus far.
Teddy V with the classically performative charge call. Gotta love it.
Abass down low for the hoop and the harm!
Harris drills a three to a chorus of “Juuuuuuuuuuuuke”
Now Freidrichsen called for a foul where the offensive player pushed off of him and fell down.
Sallis drills another three. Nasty stepback.
