Freshman center Doral Moore scored 19 points in his first career start as Wake Forest ended an 11-game losing streak by blowing out Boston College 74-48 Sunday night at Lawrence Joel Coliseum in Winston-Salem, N.C.
Wake Forest led 29-2 less than 13 minutes into the game and later took the margin to 38-6 to avoid falling into last place in the Atlantic Coast Conference.
Guard Codi Miller-McIntyre added 14 points, guard Bryant Crawford scored 12 points and guard Mitch Wilbekin and forward John Collins each had 11 points for the Demon Deacons (11-16, 2-13 ACC).
Moore made seven of eight shots from the field.
Guard Eli Carter's 18 points and forward Garland Owens' 13 points paced last-place Boston College, which has lost 14 consecutive games.
The Eagles (7-20, 0-14) began the game by shooting 3-for-24 from the field. They finished at 31 percent (18-for-58), including 6-for-30 on 3-pointers.
The score was 41-14 at halftime in the only meeting of the regular season between the teams.
The game came two days after Wake Forest announced a two-game suspension for forward Devin Thomas, a senior who leads the team in scoring and rebounding, and the dismissal of guard Cornelius Hudson.
