WSSU falls flat against Fayetteville State

PIKEVILLE, North Carolina — Somewhere between Forsyth County and Wayne County, Winston-Salem State lost its shooting touch.

WSSU also didn’t have much defense as Fayetteville State rolled to a 74-56 victory at Aycock High School on Saturday night. Playing in front of a standing-room-only crowd of 1,500, the Rams were flat, and Coach Bobby Collins had no explanation.

“I don’t know,” Collins said. “We came here and had a good shoot-around, and we had plenty of rest, and it was a great atmosphere and for some reason we just didn’t have it.”

Things got so bad in the second half that the Rams (11-8, 2-1 CIAA Southern Division) went 11 minutes with a field goal. The Broncos (12-6, 2-1) took charge during that stretch, turning to their swarming and physical defense and going inside on offense.
