It wasn’t pretty, but Wake Forest escaped from Conway, South Carolina with an 84-80 victory over Coastal Carolina, and moved to 7-4 on the season. The Demon Deacons were led by Bryant Crawford, who finished with 22 points, 6 assists, and 4 steals.
Wake Forest hadn’t played a game in 10 days, and it showed in this contest. The Deacs were sloppy, as they turned it over 17 times (24.6% of possessions) and went just 7 for 22 (31.8%) from beyond the arc. They won this game, however, by dominating the glass, 36-27. They also got to the charity stripe more often, and knocked their free throws down at a higher rate.
