FSU battled back from as many as 16 points down in two different stanzas in the second half to get the 72-70 win over the Demon Deacons. The 'Noles made big plays offensively and defensively to get the victory headlined by a Taylor Bol Bowen 3 to give them the late lead, and a Justin Thomas dunk to seal the deal. The Seminoles have now won back-to-back games while breaking a three-game winning streak by Wake Forest. Jamir Watkins and Taylor Bol Bowen each scored 15 points, and Malique Ewin chipped in 14 points for Florida State. Cam Hildreth and Hunter Sallis combined for 42 points and 8 rebounds for Wake Forest.
