Both Wake Forest Demon Deacons and Longwood Lancers have had players enjoy standout shooting performances in recent games. But both sides are looking for more entering Wednesday night's game in Winston-Salem, N.C.

The latest big boost for the Demon Deacons (8-3) came from Myles Colvin, who poured in a career-high 33 points on 11-for-13 shooting from the field in Sunday's 111-73 demolition of Queens. He made seven 3-point shots.

"Myles was unbelievable," Wake Forest coach Steve Forbes said. "The ball looked great coming out of his hand."

It wasn't just Colvin. Omaha Biliew posted a career-high 16 points.

Colvin, who averages 13.5 points per game, and Biliew, who checks in with 6.4 points per outing, are Wake Forest's third- and sixth-leading scorers. Juke Harris tops the team with 20.1 points per game.

The Demon Deacons were able to build on a neutral-site victory against West Virginia from the previous weekend. Wake Forest is aiming for its second three-game winning streak of the season.

Longwood (6-6) had a two-game winning streak snapped with Saturday's 81-76 home loss to Delaware State.

The Lancers had efficient shooting in their last game as well, with Elijah Tucker posting 20 points by making eight of nine shots from the field.

"He was a great spark," Longwood coach Ronnie Thomas said of Tucker. "But it's not just an individual thing for us right now. It's not to discredit what he did. We've got to have good individual performances for the team, but we need a lot of individuals to have performances of that nature."

The key for Longwood on Wednesday will be limiting the damage during ragged stretches.

"Especially when things aren't going our way, we have to stay together and continue to play with each other and allow the ball to touch multiple hands when we play within each other and within the team," Thomas said.

Forbes, who collected his 100th victory with the Demon Deacons in his sixth season, said it's critical that his team grows as it enters the break between semesters. So far, he likes how that has gone.

"The whole thing goes back to how they handled this past week with finals and practice," he said. "I thought they did it in a very mature manner."
