WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – App State men's basketball came just short of its second Atlantic Coast Conference win of the season on Wednesday night. The Mountaineers fell to Wake Forest, 66-67 in a heartbreaking thriller.
Terence Harcum scored a corner three-pointer with 14 seconds left to give the Mountaineers a one-point advantage, but Wake Forest's Andrew Carr responded with a buzzer-beating mid-range jump shot to end the game.
Christopher Mantis led the way with 18 points on 6-7 shooting, a trio of three-point shots and a perfect game from the line. The sophomore was active on both ends, tallying two steals and two blocks in his third career start where he earned a plus/minus of +13.
