Xavier Storms Back to Defeat Wake Forest 78-70

It's fitting that in the Skip Prosser Classic I'm about to quote an author, specifically Charles Dickens. Tuesday's contest against #6 Xavier truly was the best of times and the worst of times for the Demon Deacons. Wake Forest found themselves up by as many as 18 points in the first half, and entered halftime with a 43-28 lead. Xavier erased that deficit faster than any White Out could have ever done. The Musketeers started the second half on a 21-4 run and took a 49-47 lead with under 14 minutes to play. They never trailed again, and won by a final score of 78-70.
