    Wake Forest rallies despite poor shooting

    WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) -- Watching shot after shot fail to fall through the hoop became too much for Wake Forest coach Skip Prosser to handle. So he kicked the scorer's table three times in frustration.
    That seemed to do the trick.

    Freshman Chris Paul scored a career-high 21 points and Eric Williams added 17 to help the Demon Deacons overcome a poor shooting night for a 78-63 victory over Clemson on Saturday.

    The Demon Deacons (11-0, 2-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) shot just 40 percent from the field and were just 2-of-13 on 3-pointers, yet still managed their 24th consecutive home victory.

    "We practice shooting," Prosser deadpanned. "We just didn't shoot the ball well. And in all frankness, we haven't shot the ball well from 3-point range for a while."

    Wake Forest (No. 4 ESPN/USA Today, No. 5 AP) which is shooting 35 percent from beyond the arc this season, eventually went inside to pull away for the win by getting 12 points from Jamaal Levy and 10 from Trent Strickland.
