Hunter Sallis out to lead Wake Forest to season sweep of Stanford

Stanford gets an opportunity to exact a measure of revenge for the first time in its Atlantic Coast Conference lifetime when the Cardinal host Wake Forest on Wednesday night.Hunter Sallis got the better of fellow All-ACC first-team candidate Maxime Raynaud when the Demon Deacons (16-6, 8-3 ACC) dealt the Cardinal (15-7, 7-4) an 80-67 defeat last month in Winston-Salem.Sallis played all 40 minutes and put up 30 points, the third-most of his four-year college career, in the win. He hit 12 of 17 shots and 3 of his 5 3-point attempts.Raynaud, meanwhile, countered with a 14-point, 11-rebound double-double.Wake Forest coach Steve Forbes made no secret after the game of what had been his team’s primary focus going in.”The most important thing was the job we did against the big guy,” he said. “We made him into a 3-point shooter. He only had one post-up the entire game. We doubled him and got it out of his hands. He got some offensive rebounds, but he’s everything as advertised.”Raynaud shot nearly as many 3-pointers (five) as two-pointers (six) in the loss.Stanford has won four of five since the defeat, with the lone loss coming Saturday at SMU, 85-61. Three of the four wins have come at home, where the Cardinal has yet to be beaten in five conference games.
