Beware Deacon Zero
Posted Jan 9, 2009
Entering this weekend, Jeff Teague leads the ACC in scoring with 19.6 points per game. The 6-foot-2 combo guard from Indianapolis is shooting 53.6 percent, including an eye-popping 51.5 on 3-point tries, and he ranks second in the league in steals (29) behind UNC's Ty Lawson. To have a chance against Lawson and the Tar Heels, Wake will need premium guard play from Teague and backcourt mates Ish Smith and L.D. Williams.
