Williams: Heels, Deacons match up well

Posted Jan 11, 2009
Wake Forest point guard Jeff Teague is playing as well as any player in the ACC, according to North Carolina coach Roy Williams. But the praise doesn't stop there. Deacons forward James Johnson, he predicts, will be playing for a lot of money one day. Put 'em together – along with waves of reserves – and No. 3 UNC will face a rarity when it plays the undefeated and fourth-ranked Deacons at Lawrence Joel Coliseum tonight: an opponent that can match its firepower.
