The team’s 16 steals might have made the Demon Deacons think that they could take risks.”We gambled a little too much,” Forbes said. “There were times when we got beat off the dribble a little too much.”Forbes said he expects better perimeter shooting than the team’s 1-for-12 mark on uncontested 3-point attempts in the opener.Morehead State, meanwhile, had a tussle before securing an 89-84 home victory against Midway to begin its season.
