Presbyterian Blue Hose at Wake Forest Demon Deacons

Wake Forest defeats Presbyterian 69-48

Wake Forest (3-0), which is more than halfway through a season-opening five-game homestand, is unbeaten through three games for the second time in four seasons under coach Jeff Bzdelik.

Reggie Dillard scored 15 of his 20 points in the first half for Presbyterian (0-3).

Jordan Downing added 18 points. The rest of the team combined for 10 points.

Williams connected on four first-half 3-pointers and another 18-foot jumper, helping the Demon Deacons to a 42-27 halftime edge.

Williams, a transfer from Robert Morris, hit 3-pointers on three consecutive possessions as the Demon Deacons stretched their edge to 21-11. He entered the game 0-for-7 from long range across the first two outings of the season.

Presbyterian had a better first-half shooting percentage than Wake Forest (39.3 percent to 38.9 percent) but was hurt by the Demon Deacons' 3-point shooting.

Wake Forest scored only two points in the game's last 6 1/2 minutes. The Demon Deacons shot 35.7 percent (20-of-56) for the game.

That was offset by a 46-29 rebounding advantage.
