In what is becoming an all too familiar theme, Wake Forest performed admirably against a very good opponent for approximately 32 minutes before folding down the stretch. Wake Forest was tied with Virginia at 46 with 10 minutes to go, but UVA finished the game on a 33-16 run to win 79-62.
John Collins didn’t put up fantastic traditional box score stats in the first half, but did an outstanding job of drawing fouls on Virginia and staying out of foul trouble. Wake looked patient on offense and got a nice distribution of scoring. Mitchell Wilbekin, Austin Arians, Keyshawn Woods, Bryant Crawford, and Dinos Mitoglou all knocked down triples for Wake in the first place.
