A New ACC King

We all knew Jeff Teague was a beast, but the kid took it to another level on Sunday night against North Carolina. The kid is fearless and he’s a great finisher. He really impressed me by consistently taking it to the tin and getting to the line. He went at it with Ty Lawson and got the best of him. He also made a couple of great passes. Chas McFarland is a beast too. I love that kid. He’s a slower version of Luke Harangody. He’s a big body in the post, has great post moves, rebounds, and played great defense against Pyscho T. He gave him problems all night long. Wake was running the break with UNC the whole game. Carolina’s form was messed up because they got too fast and turned the ball over too much. I didn’t think I’d see Carolina get outrun but it happened.

Wake ran a few nice high/low plays as well. Tony Woods came off the bench and made some nice plays for a young dude. The great thing about Wake is that they have so many big guys. They’ve got plenty of extra fouls to burn. Harvey Hale came off the bench for guard support, but didn’t show me anything. He’s kinda weak and he’s not good defensively.

Teams might want to start zoning Wake Forest. They didn’t really show me shooting range. Teague was the only one who was worthy from beyond the arc. After seeing them finally tonight, I can say Wake’s absolutely a Final Four threat and a possible title contender.

Danny Green was the only one who had a good game for Carolina. Wayne Ellington might as well sit on the bench. He’s never taken his game to that next level. Lawson’s lack of a jump shot costs UNC at times. They aren’t playing well right now, but they can easily get past a team who doesn’t put up numbers though.
