WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) -- Dave Odom has seen all the dunks and fancy offensive moves from Antwan Scott. The Wake Forest coach will now demand the entire package from his sophomore forward.

Scott posted career highs with 15 points and nine rebounds as the Demon Deacons (No. 23 ESPN/USA Today, No. 25 Associated Press) held High Point without a basket for a 14½-minute span in a 79-35 victory Friday night.

Scott came into the game ninth on the team in minutes played, but will likely play a key role now with the loss of starter Darius Songaila.

Songaila, the team's second leading scorer and rebounder, sprained a ligament in his right knee during a fall under the basket less than a minute into the second half.

The 6-foot-9 sophomore, who averages 13.1 points and 5.0 rebounds, was helped to the locker room without putting much weight on his leg and did not return. Odom said Songaila is doubtful for Monday night's game at Arkansas and could be lost for a week to 10 days.

"Where one door closes another one opens," Odom said. "You guys have been asking for him, now you're going to get him. Here comes Antwan.

"We'll see. We'll see if he can play defense. We'll see if he can rebound against the highest level of college basketball, because that's what we've got coming."

The point total by the Panthers was the lowest against the Demon Deacons (7-1) in 52 years. Wake Forest held Atlantic Christian to 30 points during the 1947-48 season.

"From where I was sitting they looked pretty good," High Point coach Jerry Steele said, tongue-in-cheek. "That's a mild statement. We had trouble scoring. You are all aware of that."

Scott's points came in just 21 minutes. His previous high was 13 twice, while his rebound high was seven against Mercer in 1998.

Scott said he's ready to increase his playing time.

"I have been ready," Scott said. "This is the happiest I've been all year. Last year at this time I wasn't as happy. If my number is called I'm going to be ready."

Anthony Jackson led High Point (5-2) with 11 points.

High Point trailed 41-15 at halftime after going without a basket over the final 6:41 of the half. Then the Panthers didn't score in the second half until Brooks Lee nailed a 3-pointer with 12 minutes left. By that time the Panthers were down 54-15.

Wake Forest started slow after a 15-minute pregame ceremony honoring Steele, who coached Odom at Guilford in the 1960s.

In fact, Wake Forest had a three-minute span without scoring before Robert O'Kelley got hot, scoring 12 points in less than two minutes.

The junior guard started his scoring spree with a 16-footer, then nailed three straight 3-pointers -- his first long-range shot turning into a four-point play after he was fouled -- as Wake Forest took a 21-5 lead.

The Panthers closed to 26-13 with 6:42 left before the half, but were held to two free throws over the final 6½ minutes as the Demon Deacons closed the half on a 15-2 run.

High Point, playing its first full-fledged Division I schedule this season after moving up from Division II in 1997, managed just five field goals in the opening 20 minutes as Wake Forest used all 13 players.

Wake Forest's second-half run was 13-0 before Brooks broke the ice.

"We weren't awesome, but it didn't call for an awesome performance either," Odom said. "We were good and I was pleased with how we played. It's a hard game to play because you sense you could go to 100 points if you really went after it, but that's not us and that's not important to me."

Steele, who played on Wake Forest's 1961 Atlantic Coast Conference championship team, was returning to the bench after missing one game with the flu.
