Earlier this season, Rutland provided a lift for Wake Forest (16-5 overall, 7-4 conference) against Clemson when Randolph Childress couldn't get started. With the Terrapins (19-5, 9-3) clamping down on Childress with a variety of pressure defenses, Rutland stepped up and negated that strategy in a key stretch of the second half.

Notes
ROANOKE SEEDED NO.2:It's a strange irony, but the Roanoke College men don't mind.
The Maroons earned the No.2 seed for the weekend's ODAC tournament, thanks to a victory Wednesday night by Hampden-Sydney, the team that ended Roanoke's 1993-94 season. The Tigers beat Randolph-Macon 70-56 in Farmville on Wednesday to clinch the second seed for the Maroons (17-7, 12-6).
Roanoke plays its first tournament game at 6:30 p.m. Saturday at the Salem Civic Center against seventh-seeded Guilford (11-1, 8-10). (Pairings in Scoreboard)
