Wake Forest defeats NC A&T 90-78

It might have been closer than most fans would have liked, but at the end the day, Wake Forest got to 1-0 on the basketball season with a 90-78 victory over N.C. A&T.

A balanced scoring effort across the board for the Deacs proved to be too much for the Aggies to overcome.

Freshman stud Jaylen Hoard was by far the best player on the court, and despite being hampered in the first half with two fouls, finished with 19 points and 13 rebounds. The second half was a dominant individual performance though.

Notching a double-double in your first start is not easy to do, so kudos to him for what will hopefully be the first of many.
