The Guilford College men's basketball team faced the Randolph-Macon College Yellow Jackets in the regular season finale. The matchup between the 14th-ranked Quakers and the second-ranked Yellow Jackets lived up the hype as the visitors won by three points, 61-58.

From here the Quakers were able to put some pressure on the Yellow Jackets and started trading buckets. Leading into the last few minutes of the half, Randolph-Macon slowly started to pull away and led 40-23 at the break.

Coming out of the half the Yellow Jackets tried to continue to pull away but the Quakers had an answer. Guilford went on a 14-point run to cut the deficit to just two (46-44).

From there, the game was on. The two squads showed why they are deserving of a top-25 ranking with clutch baskets and key defensive stops. With 3:09 on the clock, Tyler Dearman hit a three to cut the difference to one (59-58). Unfortunately, that was the closest the Quakers got as Randolph-Macon hit two late free throws to seal the victory.
