WSSU flattens Allen University 82-45

WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina  --  Sometimes, pancakes win out over watching basketball.

While Winston-Salem State was well on its way to an easy 82-45 win over Allen University at the Gaines Center, there was also a late-night pancake dinner for hungry students in the cafeteria.

With about seven minutes to go in the game and the Rams comfortably ahead by 30 about 150 or so students piled out of the Gaines Center.

“I did see that,” said point guard Marcus Wells, who was already out of the game as Coach Bobby Collins cleared his bench. “That’s okay though, because we had a big lead. And you know what, I’m about to go get me some of those pancakes myself.”

The Rams, who won their fifth in a row to improve to 6-2, had little trouble feasting on the overmatched Yellow Jackets, an NAIA school from Columbia, S.C., that fell to 2-10 on the season.

Wakefield Ellison, who is playing his best ball of his two-year career at WSSU, led the way with 15 points off the bench. Freshman Michael-Ofik Nzege had 13 points and nine rebounds, and Justin Glover scored 11 points with three assists.
