The Wake Forest Demon Deacons bounced back from a tough loss to Northwestern on Monday evening by knocking off the Richmond Spiders, 75-67, on the road to improve to 6-2 on the season. What were the key takeaways from this one?
Wake Forest did not shoot the ball well from beyond the arc in the first half, as they were a miserable 1-11, but a 25-14 edge on the boards enabled the Deacs to take a 32-30 lead at halftime. John Collins had 6 points and 6 rebounds in just 9 minutes in the first half, but foul trouble kept Collins on the bench.
