Mystery Disease Kills Thousands
Ron Paul, Rick Santorum Suggest Foul Play From Romney Campaign
Mike Krzyzewski was right, the biggest thing to fear about Wake Forest was their seven-day layoff, and the resulting time for the Demon Deacons to stew on a loss to Virginia Tech that ended their time as the No. 1 team in the nation.But Coach K was also wrong. Wake Forest's ability to dominate in the paint against Duke propelled them to a thrilling 70-68 win over the Blue Devils.
Wake controlled much of the game, leading by five at half and as much as 13 late in the game, but Duke managed to storm back and nearly steal a win in Winston-Salem, before L.D. Williams hit James Johnson for a quick layup with just .8 seconds remaining.
There was plenty to love about this game, including Wake's impressive defense -- something that was sorely lacking in their loss to the Hokies -- and an atmosphere in "The Dash" that hadn't really been present since the Chris Paul days.
There was plenty to question as well, though; particularly some of Jeff Teague's shots. The super soph converted only 4-of-14 from the floor, and plenty of those misses came on ill-advised, "we seem unstoppable" shots by the Deacs early in the first half.
Chas McFarland couldn't stay out of foul trouble (again) either, and that's a terrifying prospect for Wake, considering they'll have to play more interior-oriented teams at some point. On the bright side, Al-Farouq Aminu was dominant after suffering a busted forehead against Virginia Tech, leading the way for Wake with a 15-point, 10-rebound double-double. Johnson managed a stellar 13-point and 11-rebound of his own.
Kyle Singler led the Devils with 22 points and 12 rebounds -- the latter number certainly makes you question Wake's ability to keep opponents off the boards -- and Gerald Henderson was typically clutch with 20 points and eight boards.
Still, Singler and Henderson couldn't help the Devils overcome a horrid shooting night from Jon Scheyer (2-for-10) and the supporting cast (6-of-30, outside of Henderson and Scheyer) and Wake pulled out a win that shouldn't ever have been that close.
