Strong second half lifts Wake Forest over Pitt

Cameron Hildreth had 24 points and Hunter Sallis added 13 as the duo took over in the second half to lift the Wake Forest Demon Deacons to a 76-74 Atlantic Coast Conference win over the Pitt Panthers on Saturday in Winston-Salem, N.C. Hildreth, who had a total of just six points on 2-for-13 shooting over the previous two games as he battled flu-like symptoms, scored 17 in the second half for Wake Forest (16-6, 8-3 ACC) while Sallis added 11. During one stretch, the tandem combined for 20 straight points. Not to be outdone, Ty-Laur Johnson scored 12 of his season-high 16 points after the break for the Demon Deacons.
