Wake Forest, Teague upset Duke
Jeff Teague scored 26 points and Wake Forest shocked No. 2 Duke 86-73 on Sunday night at Winston-Salem, N.C., ending the Blue Devils’ 12-game winning streak and giving first-year coach Dino Gaudio his first big victory as the heir of the late Skip Prosser’s program.
James Johnson added 24 points for the Demon Deacons (16-8, 6-5 Atlantic Coast Conference), who claimed their first victory against a top-five team since they knocked off the then-No. 4 Blue Devils on Feb. 2, 2005.
Wake Forest won its third straight, improved to 14-1 on its home court and snapped a five-game losing streak in the series on the strength of a 17-2 run midway through the second half and some smothering defense, forcing the Blue Devils into a season-high 22 turnovers.
The Demon Deacons held Duke (22-2, 10-1) without a field goal for more than 7 minutes in building the first double-figure lead of the game for either team at 72-62 with 4:58 left.
(6) UCLA 56, Southern California 46: Darren Collison scored 14 points, Kevin Love added 13 and the visiting Bruins (22-3, 10-2) defeated the Trojans at Los Angeles to move atop the Pac-10 standings by a half-game over Stanford.
Luc Richard Mbah a Moute had 10 points and 10 rebounds in his return after missing two games because of a sprained left ankle. Love grabbed 11 rebounds for his 15th double-double.
Taj Gibson had 16 points on 7-of-8 shooting and 12 rebounds to lead the Trojans (15-9, 6-6).
(20) Notre Dame 71, Rutgers 68: At Piscataway, N.J., Tory Jackson had 17 points, 10 assists and eight rebounds and the Irish (19-5, 9-3 Big East) held off the Scarlet Knights (10-17, 2-12), handing Rutgers its sixth straight loss.
