COLLEGE
Randolph Childress played collegiately at Wake Forest University from 1991–92 through 1994–95, where he averaged 18.4 points per game for his four-year career and finished with 2,208 total points, which ranks second in school history.
Across 120 career games, Childress averaged 18.4 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 3.9 assists while shooting 44.6% from the field, 39.5% from three-point range, and 80.4% at the line, and he left Wake Forest as the program’s all-time leader in made three-pointers with 329, which also ranks fifth in ACC history.
His collegiate highlight came in 1995, when he delivered one of the most outstanding ACC Tournament performances of all time.
Named tournament MVP, Childress along with sophomore Tim Duncan, carried the Demon Deacons to the title, Childress averaged 35.7 points and 7 assists per game, and he ended the tournament with a record 107 total points across three games, breaking a long-standing ACC Tournament scoring mark.
In the finals, against a UNC team featuring Jerry Stackhouse and Rasheed Wallace, Childress scored 37 with 7 assists and hit a game-winning jumper with 4 seconds left in overtime.
The game was highlighted by a crossover dribble Childress performed with UNC's Jeff McInnis guarding him: McInnis tripped & fell in the process, Childress made a motion with his hand as if to say "come here" or "get up," then hit a 3-point shot.
During that same 1995 ACC Tournament run, Childress also produced a famous quarterfinal explosion against Duke with 40 points, including an ACC Tournament-record eight three-pointers, and he filled the box score in that game with nine assists, six rebounds, and four steals.
He was honored as the ACC Male Athlete of the Year in 1995, and his senior season also included major postseason recognition as a second-team All-America selection in 1995, with Wake Forest noting his All-ACC honours across multiple seasons and his role in a four-year team stretch that included four NCAA Tournament appearances and two Sweet 16 trips.
In 2002, Childress was named to the ACC 50th Anniversary men's basketball team, honoring the fifty greatest players in ACC history, and Wake Forest later retired his No. 22 jersey as part of the program’s select group of retired numbers.
