CHARLOTTE, North Carolina -- There were a few leaks in the roof at Brayboy Gym, but even those didn’t slow 16th-ranked Winston-Salem State.WSSU did everything right Wednesday night in a hard-fought 92-82 CIAA victory against Johnson C. Smith. Showing poise and a defensive game plan that worked to near perfection, the Rams grabbed the lead for good midway through the first half.
“Last year, we lost here, and it was kind of hard on us, so we just thought about that, and we didn’t want to lose, so that was motivation enough,” said guard Justin Glover, who scored 29 points and had two rim-rattling dunks that even J.C. Smith fan appreciated.
With a strong rain storm going on outside, the roof at Brayboy had three noticeable leaks. Play was stopped in the first half as ball boys constantly cleaned the three spots, each just off the court.
When Glover wasn’t scoring, other Rams were. Wakefield Ellison had a career-high 21 points, Joe Thompson added 10, and WyKevin Bazemore had nine points and eight rebounds.
