Three weeks of the college basketball season are in the books, and while many teams gear up for nonconference clashes, Friday provided its own excitement that every fan yearns for.
From buzzer-beaters and dramatic finishes to devastating defeats, here are this weekend’s winners and losers.
Winner: Wake Forest guard Myles Colvin
Wake Forest has suffered a couple of crushing losses so far at the hands of Michigan and Texas Tech. But on Friday, the Demon Deacons were on the right side of a last-second shot.
Down by two with 1.5 seconds remaining, Wake Forest executed a perfect Hail Mary play that eventually landed in the hands of guard Myles Colvin, who drained a 3-pointer at the buzzer to knock off Memphis. The Demon Deacons exit the Baha Mar Championship with a 1-1 record and may be a sneaky team to watch in the ACC.
