01/03/2009 - Provo, UT (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jeff Teague poured in a game-high 30 points to help No. 6 Wake Forest deal BYU its first home loss in over three years with a 94-87 victory over the Cougars.
BYU had won an astounding 53 consecutive games at the Marriott Center, with the last setback for the squad coming against Loyola Marymount in the 2005-06 home opener. The streak was the longest in the nation.
James Johnson added 22 points and 15 rebounds for the Demon Deacons (13-0), who are undefeated through 13 games for the first time since 1996-97. The win helps set up a possible meeting of unbeatens January 11 when No. 1 North Carolina pays a visit to Winston-Salem.
Wake Forest is idle until then while the Tar Heels play home games against Boston College and the College of Charleston over the next seven days.
Al-Farouq Aminu chipped in 12 points and seven boards in the win.
Jimmer Fredette logged 23 points and nine helpers for the Cougars (11-2), who have dropped two of three overall with the other loss coming against then 20th-ranked Arizona State. Jonathan Tavernari ended with 18 points and nine boards while Lee Cummard had 17 and eight.
With the game tied at 85, Johnson's tip-in gave Wake Forest an 87-85 lead with 91 seconds left. After BYU failed to score on its ensuing possession, L.D. Williams was fouled and hit 1-of-2 to make it a three-point game.
Chas McFarland was fouled with 42.9 seconds remaining and hit just one shot to make it 89-85.
Jackson Emery's three-point attempt caromed off the rim on the other end and Tavernari's put-back was no good either, allowing Teague to grab the rebound and go to the line with 25.8 seconds showing. He hit both shots to make it a six-point affair, which all but sealed the win.
Teague's jumper tied the game and Williams followed with a three to give the Demon Deacons a 30-27 lead with 7:52 left in the first half.
The teams continued to trade baskets before BYU assumed a 48-45 lead at the intermission.
Aminu's three-pointer gave Wake Forest a 54-53 lead about 2 1/2 minutes into the second half.
However, Charles Abouo hit a pair of free throws to spark a 9-0 BYU run that gave the Cougars a 62-54 advantage with 14:37 left in the game.
Down by six moments later, Johnson hit a three-pointer to spark an 11-0 spurt to give the Demon Deacons a 77-72 lead.
The lead then changed hands before a layup from Cummard tied the game at 84 with just over three minutes left.
Game Notes
Wake Forest leads the all-time series with the Cougars by a count of 4-1...Against ranked opponents, the Cougars have an all-time record of 50-113 and are 14-21 versus such teams at the Marriott Center over the years.

With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
