Wake sends Heels to 0-2 in ACC

Posted Jan 12, 2009
North Carolina guard Wayne Ellington said last week he couldn’t imagine his team — you know, the deep, speedy, experienced Final Four favorite — falling to 0-2 in the ACC. Now, it’s a reality. Fourth-ranked Wake Forest knocked the No. 3 Tar Heels down yet another peg at Joel Coliseum, 92-89, led by 34 points from point guard Jeff Teague. The Demon Deacons remained one of three undefeated teams in the country. (Raleigh News & Observer)
