In a bizarre game on the night before Thanksgiving, the Wake Forest Demon Deacons defeated Coastal Carolina 86-74 in Winston-Salem. John Collins dropped 20 points for the Demon Deacons and continued his strong sophomore campaign. What else stood out in this contest?
Wake Forest and Coastal Carolina got off to a somewhat sluggish start, and combined for just 4 points 3 minutes into the game, but then the Deacs got going. Over the next 8 minutes the Deacs went on a 28-3 run to put Wake up 30-5. At that point I was thinking this would be a dominant performance just in time for the holiday, but of course nothing comes easy.
