The Demon Deacons threatened to get back into the game with an 8-2 run early in the second half that trimmed the deficit to 14, but Arkansas came right back with a 10-0 run to end the threat. Wake Forest missed its first 14 3-point attempts before Cornelius Hudson sank one with 4:49 left and the Demon Deacons finished 1-for-18 overall.
