Aidan Shaw's game-winning put-back lifts Boston College over Wake Forest

Aidan Shaw scored on a put-back with five-tenths of a second to play to help Boston College end an eight-game losing streak by beating visiting Wake Forest 68-67 in an ACC matchup Wednesday night.

Shaw's basket came after a Juke Harris 3-pointer put Wake Forest up 67-66 with 18 seconds to play. Boston College intercepted the in-bounds pass following Shaw's go-ahead basket.

Fred Payne led Boston College (10-18, 3-12 ACC) with 23 points. Boden Kapke added 13 points and 10 rebounds, and Shaw finished with 11 points and seven rebounds.

Harris scored a career-high 38 points for Wake Forest, which trailed by five points with 33 seconds to play. Harris made 6 of 12 3-point attempts, including two in the final 25 seconds. The Demon Deacons (14-14, 5-10 ACC) received four points and 11 rebounds from Tre'Von Spillers.

Wake Forest point guard Nate Calmese left the game when he rolled his left ankle with 5:30 left in the first half. An injury to his right ankle prevented Calmese from playing in Wake Forest's last six games.

Boston College guard Donald Hand returned to action after missing three games with a leg injury. Hand, who entered the game averaging 13.8 points per contest, scored five points in the first half but did not enter the game after halftime.

An 11-0 run gave Wake Forest a 19-13 lead with 8:15 left in the first half. The Demon Deacons had a 29-22 halftime lead. Harris scored 19 points in the first 20 minutes, when BC was 1 of 15 from 3-point territory.

Boston College began the second half on a 14-1 spurt and led 36-30 following a Payne 3-pointer with 15:59 to play. The Eagles pushed their lead to 11 points before the Demon Deacons mounted a comeback.

The game was originally scheduled to be played Tuesday but was postponed by a snowstorm that hit the Boston area and forced Wake Forest to alter its travel plans.
