Colvin calls game at buzzer as Wake Forest edges Memphis 69-68 in Baha Mar
thriller
NASSAU, Bahamas (AP) --- Myles Colvin delivered the moment every tournament
game begs for --- a game winner with a single second left --- lifting Wake
Forest past Memphis 69--68 in the Baha Mar Championship consolation game on
Friday night.
Colvin's decisive right-wing 3 came after a scramble sequence that left the
ball in Tre'Von Spillers' hands with the clock bleeding out. Spillers kicked it
to Colvin, who rose without hesitation and buried it, flipping a one-point
deficit into a one-point Wake Forest lead and silencing a Memphis group that
had controlled long stretches of the second half.
Spillers was dominant throughout, finishing with 24 points, six boards and a
series of momentum-shifting plays at both ends. Juke Harris added 10 points,
while Omaha Biliew chipped in eight.
Memphis leaned on Dug McDaniel's shot-making as he scored 24, including five 3s
and two free throws with under a second left that briefly put the Tigers ahead.
Zach Davis added 12 points, and Ashton Hardaway hit a pair of high-leverage 3s
to keep Memphis in front for much of the final eight minutes.
Wake Forest trailed 66--64 entering the final minute before Mason set up Colvin
for a go-ahead layup. After Davis answered and Memphis split free throws to
make it 68--66, Wake cleared out for one last look. Spillers grabbed a miss,
spotted Colvin, and the freshman delivered the game-winner.
