NC State Wolfpack at Wake Forest Demon Deacons
· NCAA Men's Basketball
69 - 70
Wake Forest beats NC State 70-69
Miller-McIntyre scored 20 points, the last coming when he raced downcourt on an inbounds play to hit a leaning shot while being bumped by Ralston Turner. Miller-McIntyre missed the free throw, but N.C. State's Anthony "Cat" Barber wasn't close on a desperation shot at the buzzer.
It was a big win for the Demon Deacons (12-5, 2-2 Atlantic Coast Conference), who had lost two straight since their upset of North Carolina here Jan. 5.
Devin Thomas added 16 points for Wake Forest, which made 28 of 39 free throws (72 percent) in an uncharacteristically steady performance at the foul line for one of the nation's worst free-throw shooting teams.
T.J. Warren scored 22 points for the Wolfpack (11-6, 1-3) before fouling out with 2:47 left.
This was a painful loss for the Wolfpack, who were in position to ruin Wake Forest's perfect home record when Desmond Lee knocked down two free throws with 10.5 seconds left for a 69-68 lead. N.C. State dominated the offensive glass and took a 23-4 edge in second-chance points, with most of that damage coming before halftime, but came up empty in Winston-Salem for the second straight season.
The foul trouble added up for N.C. State, with Warren, Kyle Washington and Jordan Vandenberg all racking up four fouls by the 10-minute mark of the second half. In addition, backup guard Tyler Lewis didn't play in the second half due to flu-like symptoms, an illness he had been battling coming into the game.
Wake Forest shot 54 percent for the game, with Arnaud William Adala Moto turning in 15 points and a career-high 11 rebounds off the bench.
N.C. State has now lost two straight since winning at Notre Dame, including Saturday's 31-point home loss to Virginia.
