November 18 at Lawrence Joel Coliseum in Winston-Salem, NC

You might think this was a great win (91-82) for Richmond to go and beat an ACC team on the road, but the Spiders are just better than the Demon Deacons. This was just a regular win.

Richmond led only 84-82 with about three minutes to play after Wake freshman Bryant Crawford (game-high 21 points) hit a 3-pointer. It was a miserable final three minutes for Wake, though as the hosts did this with their final five possessions:

1. turnover with 2:27 left
2. bad shot out of time out - 1:50
3. hurried 3-pointer, blocked  - :53
4. jumper, blocked - :28
5. lay up, blocked - :17

Amazingly, those were the only three shots Richmond blocked all night.

Meanwhile, the Richmond offense had a nice night - 46% from three, including 6-of-9 in the second half and 51% overall from the field, including a 17-of-30 performance over the final 20 minutes.
