Tuesday's game -
Western Carolina - 64 Wake Forest - 71
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- Brandon Childress scored 20 points, Jaylen Hoard added 17, as Wake Forest beat Western Carolina 71-64 on Tuesday night. The Catamounts' upset bid was undone by poor foul shooting (16 of 32) and turnovers in the final minute. WCU led 63-62 with less than a minute remaining. But Hoard scored while being fouled, and Isaiah Mucius rebounded and put back the missed free throw to give the Demon Deacons a 66-63 lead. After an exchange of free throws made it 67-64, Hoard stole an attempted inbound pass, was fouled, and made both of his foul shots. Mucius then stole the ensuing inbound pass, sealing the outcome.
