The launch of the Steve Forbes era with Wake Forest basketball will take place in the form of a four-team multi-team event (MTE) in Winston-Salem. According to a report from Longwood stats, Wake Forest will host the MTE; Longwood will participate along with Delaware State and Alabama State.
Longwood is a part of the Big South Conference; the Lancers finished the 2019-20 season with a record of 14-18, ranked No. 319 in KenPom.
Alabama State is in the SWAC. Last season, the Hornets went 8-24. Delaware State, which hails from the MEAC, went 6-26 during the 2019-20 season. Both programs ranked outside the top 330 nationally in KenPom last year.
The event will take place over a three-day period in late November: 25-27.
