Teague puts Deacons on his back
Posted Jan 12, 2009
As Jeff Teague greeted lingering fans in the bowels of Joel Coliseum late last night, he tentatively extended the right hand that burned North Carolina for 34 points. Nobody noticed any smoke, which was a bigger upset than Wake Forest's 92-89 victory. The long line of back slappers might have taken Teague aback, but the Tar Heels seldom impeded his star-of-stars processional. He hit 9 of 17 shots, 3 of 4 3-pointers and 13 of 15 free throws.
