Michael Snaer scored 18 points and Florida State recovered from a sloppy first half to defeat Wake Forest, 75-52, for its fifth consecutive victory.

Okaro White added 11 points for the Seminoles (14-6, 5-1 ACC), who shot just 37.5 percent in the first half, taking a 29-23 lead into the locker room at halftime. Florida State was able to rally after the break, connecting for 68 percent from the floor to pull away and even its road record at 3-3.

Snaer, the ACC’s reigning Player of the Week, reached double figures in scoring for the fourth straight game and has scored 10 or more in six of the Seminoles' last eight outings.

C.J. Harris led the offense for the Demon Deacons (11-9, 2-4 ACC), scoring 16 points. Harris has reached double figures in each of his 19 games this year. Ty Walker blocked four shots in the first half for the Deacons, pulling to within 15 of Antwan Scott for sixth place in school history, before an apparent concussion ended his night.

Florida State has now defeated Wake Forest four straight times, tying its longest streak in the head-to-head series, and improving to 20-23 all-time.

The Seminoles' five-game winning streak marks the sixth time in school history they have won at least five consecutive games and is the first five-game win streak in conference play since 2009-10.

The Demon Deacons head to Clemson on Saturday, while the Seminoles have a week off before hosting Georgia Tech.
