App State Mountaineers at Wake Forest Demon Deacons
· NCAA Men's Basketball
Carr's buzzer beater lifts Wake Forest over Appalachian St.
With 1.3 seconds to play, Carr drove the lane to catch an inbounds pass from Cameron Hildreth. Carr caught the ball on the run and then spun for a jump shot that hit nothing but net.
Dibaji Walker and CJ Huntley made consecutive layups and Terence Harcum hit a 3-pointer during a 7-2 surge to give Appalachian State a 66-65 lead with 14 seconds left. Hildreth missed a layup on the other end, but then the Demon Deacons forced a bad pass turnover that led to the final possession.
Wake Forest has won all 21 games in the series and beat the Mountaineers for the first time since Nov. 25, 2006.
