Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Wake Forest to victory, but perhaps none more so than Hunter Sallis, who went 9 for 14 en route to 23 points plus six assists and five rebounds.

Meanwhile, Xavier won against IUI on Friday with 94 points and they decided to stick to that point total again on Tuesday. Xavier steamrolled past Jackson State 94-57. The margin was wide but not a surprise since the spread was 26.5 in the Musketeers’ favor.
Xavier got their win on the backs of several key players, but it was Zach Freemantle out in front who went 8 for 11 en route to 21 points. The team also got some help courtesy of Dante Maddox Jr., who had 16 points in addition to five rebounds and two steals.
Xavier was working as a unit and finished the game with 28 assists. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Jackson State only posted ten.
Wake Forest’s victory was their third…
