Men’s Basketball bounces back with win over Charleston Southern

Men’s Basketball returned home to LJVM Coliseum on Tuesday, Nov. 10, after falling on the road to No. 22 Vanderbilt 74-51 despite showing some early fight. The Demon Deacons were set to host the Charleston Southern Buccaneers, and they were able to spread the wealth throughout a large chunk of the lineup en route to an 82-64 victory. The Buccaneers came to town with two very big bodies in the frontcourt. Forward Lase Olalere came into the game after notching four blocks in CSU’s season opener against the University of Southern Florida. Meanwhile, 7-foot-4 center Mathok Majok was a daunting presence in the paint. As a result, the Demon Deacons struggled early on the interior and were forced to look around the perimeter for scoring. Thankfully, they found success there with back-to-back 3-pointers from sophomore guards Isaac Carr and Kevair Kennedy in the opening minutes, followed by another jumper from Carr to give Wake Forest an early 14-4 lead and trigger a Buccaneer timeout.
