CINCINNATI -- No. 17 Xavier got outrebounded for the first time all season and wasted several chances to put the game away, allowing it to come down to a final free throw. Trevon Bluiett made it.Bluiett scored 20 points, including three free throws in the final 19 seconds, and the Musketeers held on for a 69-65 victory over Wake Forest on Saturday night in their annual game dedicated to former coach Skip Prosser .The Musketeers (9-2) led most of the second half but didnt have the game in hand until Bluiett hit one of his two free throws with 2 seconds left. Wake Forest (8-3) missed a pair of 3-point shots that could have tied it before Bluiett got the rebound and was fouled.Something may be off, said point guard Edmond Sumner, who had 17 points and six turnovers. At times you can see were clicking, but its not through a whole half, its in spurts. We still have to figure out whats going on.John Collins had his sixth consecutive double-double with 12 points and 12 rebounds, and Bryant Crawford scored 20 points for the Demon Deacons. Wake Forest missed all of its 12 shots from beyond the arc in the second half and finished 5 of 25 on 3-pointers.Were still going to shoot it, coach Danny Manning said. Were going to shoot it 12 times the next game. Normally we make our fair share.There were nine ties and 11 lead changes in a back-and-forth game, with the Musketeers holding a slim lead for most of the second half. Sumner had a bank shot high off the backboard, and J.P. Macura had a steal and layup that made it 66-61 with 1:29 left.Sumner and Bluiett both missed the front end in the bonus before Bluiett finally closed it out from the line.Even when were not on top of our game, we can still close games out, Bluiett said. Its a good feeling for us to know were capable of doing that. We dont want to keep putting ourselves in those situations.OUTREBOUNDEDThe Demon Deacons became the first team to outrebound Xavier this season, getting a 38-37 edge that included 15 offensive rebounds.ARC WOESWake Forest has done much better at shooting the 3 this season, making 38.8 percent before Saturdays game. Theyve been a team of extremes, tough, making 13 twice and five or less four times.We were getting good looks at the basket but the ball wasnt falling, Crawford said. We should have gone inside more, found other ways to score.POLL IMPLICATIONSXavier has won its last two games, including a 77-69 victory over Utah, to stabilize in the poll after dropping because of back-to-back road losses against Baylor and Colorado.BIG PICTUREWake Forest: The Demon Deacons have lost both of their games against ranked teams this season, including 96-77 to Villanova in the Charleston Classic.
