ACC Tuesday Hoops: PC knocks off Wake

Blue Hose edge Demon Deacons, 66-64 : Al'Lonzo Coleman scored 20 points and Khalid Mutakabbir made the game-winning layup with eight seconds remaining as Presbyterian nipped Wake Forest 66-64 Tuesday evening at the Joel Coliseum in Winston-Salem.

The Blue Hose , 6-6 and coming off a victory over Auburn, led by as many as many as 14 points in the second half, but the Demon Deacons (6-6) staged a furious comeback, capped off by a J.T. Terrell three-pointer that tied the game at 64-64 with 43 seconds to play.

After Mutakabbir gave Presbyterian the lead, the Blue Hose, who had two fouls to give, fouled twice on the final Wake Forest possession, leaving the Demon Deacons without enough time to get a final shot off.

Gary Clark led Wake Forest with 14 points, with Travis McKie close behind with 12 points and nine rebounds. J.T. Terrell notched 11 points, all coming in the second half, and C.J. Harris chipped in 10 points, six rebounds and four assists.
