Landon Glasper scored 23 points to lead the Aggies (1-1). All his field goals came from the arc where he was 7 of 20 but just 7 of 29 overall. Ryan Forrest scored 10 points.
Wake Forest had its largest lead of 20 midway through the second half but Deacons' turnovers — they finished with 19 — and four Aggies 3-pointers, two by Glasper, helped the cut the Deacons' lead to 11 with 4:40 to go. But Sallis hit a jumper and added a transition dunk after a steal by Hildreth and the Deacons went up by 18 late.
The Deacons quickly built a double-digit lead to start the second half after the Aggies went just 1 of 17 over a 10-minute span bridging both halves.
The Aggies used a 14-2 run to build a seven-point lead 8 1/2 minutes into the game and after Wake Forest rallied, Glasper hit consecutive 3s for the Aggies for a four-point edge. But the Aggies went cold and the Demon Deacons went on a 12-2 run capped by Juke Harris' 3-pointer, the first collegiate trey for the freshman from Salisbury, N.C. Harris added another bucket to put Wake Forest up 39-33 at the half.
Wake Forest takes on Michigan at Greensboro, N.C., on Sunday.
