One of the most intriguing non-conference matchups of the season did not disspoint. Wake Forest took their unblemished record into Provo to meet up with the 12-1 Cougars.
Both teams put up points all night, but not in a "no defense" way; rather in an exciting up tempo contest highlighted by excellent offensive efficiency. The game was a one or two possession game for most of the second half before the Deacons hit some big free throws and got two big stops in the game's final minute to preserve a 94-87 victory.
Jeff Teague continued his surprising All-American campaign, notching 30 points and 5 assists to help push Wake to 14-0.

Wake Forest has one week to prepare for the daunting task of slaying the North Carolina Goliath. The good news for the Deacons? They have eight days to stoke the fires of what will undoubtedly be one of the most festive crowds Joel Coliseum has hosted in a while.
