Wake wins, takes #2 seed in ACC
Wake beat Clemson 96-88. The Wake defense was horrible in the first half, but passable in the 2nd. Johnson carried everyone in the 2nd half. People talk about Teague a lot but James Johnson is the key to this team’s postseason success. He can hit shots, take anyone off the dribble, and rebounds well.
Funny comment from Teague after the game:
“Everything we do is competitive,” Teague said. “Even when it comes to talking about who has the prettiest girlfriend and things like that. We just have a competitive group of guys.”
In other news, Duke lost to UNC, so Wake locks up the #2 seed for the ACC tourney. Bracket:
