CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) --- Juke Harris hit seven 3-pointers and finished with
28 points, Tre'von Spillers scored 16 points on 8-of-13 shooting, and Wake
Forest beat West Virginia 75-66 on Saturday night at Holiday Hoopfest.
Omaha Biliew hit a 3-pointer that gave the Demon Deacons a one-point lead 24
seconds into the second half. Myles Colvin followed with a pair of free throws,
Harris made back-to-back 3s and Spillers threw down a dunk to make it 47-36
about 3 1/2 minutes later.
Honor Huff hit a 3 that trimmed the deficit to 61-56 with 5:30 to play but Nate
Calmese answered with a put-back layup and assists on back-to-back baskets by
Spillers to give the Demon Deacons a double-digit lead less than two minutes
later.
Calmese had a season-high tying nine assists to go with four points and four
steals for Wake Forest (7-3). The Demon Deacons made 29 of 57 (51%) from the
field, hit 10 3-pointers and scored 25 points off 17 West Virginia turnovers.
Huff led West Virginia (7-3) with 24 points, which included five 3-pointers.
Chance Moore had 16 points and eight rebounds.
Spillers threw down a dunk to give Wake Forest a 12-point lead with 5:45
remaining in the first half but the Mountaineers scored 17 of the next 19
points. Huff made three 3-pointers and, after he was fouled on a fourth 3-point
shot, made three free throws before Jasper Floyd hit a tiebreaking 3 that
capped a 17-2 run about five minutes later and it was 34-all at halftime. West
Virginia shot just 35% (10 of 29) from the field but hit 10 of 13 free throws
before the intermission.
