WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) — Robbie Dreher scored 20 points and Winthrop held off a late Wake Forest rally to beat the Demon Deacons 83-74 on Monday night in the consolation round of the NIT Season Tip-Off.

Reggie Middleton added 19 points and nine rebounds, Andre Jones had 15 points and Matt Morgan 10 for the Eagles (2-2), who beat Wake Forest for the first time in seven tries.

Gary Clark scored a game-high 23 points for the Deacons (2-3), who trailed by as many as 18 points midway through the second half.

But Wake Forest fought back, twice cutting Winthrop’s lead to five points, the last at 77-72 on two Travis McKie free throws with 1:18 remaining.

However, Morgan muscled in a layup 24 seconds later and the Eagles hit 4 of 7 from the free-throw line over the final 40 seconds.

Ari Stewart added 17 points for the Demon Deacons, with McKie and Carson Desrosiers scoring 10 each.
