TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Nate Calmese scored 18 points, which included the winning jumper with 6.8 seconds left, and Wake Forest rallied for a 69-68 victory over Florida State on Saturday night for the Demon Deacons’ first Atlantic Coast Conference road win this season.
The Demon Deacons used an 11-4 run to pull to 68-67 with 24 seconds left. Florida State called timeout after Calmese’s floater ended the scoring, and the Seminoles’ Robert McCray V missed a potential winning shot that hit the front of the rim to end it.
