Hardin: Wake Forest might be best team in ACC

Posted Jan 12, 2009
In the 251st meeting of the rivals, Wake took down its old nemesis 92-89 in jumping Joel Coliseum and uncorked a celebration four years in the making. If there had been any doubt before this one, we now know the former top-ranked Tar Heels are in some trouble. They've lost two ACC games to open the season, and they've met their match in a team that is just as fast, just as deep and just as big. Wake Forest. (Greensboro News & Record)
