Posted Jan 12, 2009
With defensive standout Marcus Ginyard dressed in street clothes on the bench, No. 3 UNC could only watch as Jeff Teague shredded the Tar Heel defense for a career-high 34 points, leading No. 4 Wake Forest to a pivotal 92-89 victory in a Tobacco Road shootout. In a game that included 11 ties, 10 lead changes and a 44-44 score at halftime, as well as a staggering 55 personal fouls, the Tar Heels were simply unable to match Wake Forest down the stretch.
