Demon > Devil at least for a night. While Lebron was busy dunking, Wake Forest managed to slow down the Duke offense who just couldn't stroke it from deep like they've been accustomed. It also, sort of, kind of helped that the Blue Devils were called for 31 fouls to Wake's 20. Finally.
Greg Paulus was 3-for-9 and Jon Scheyer 0-for-8. WF is quietly having a decent season (16-8), aided by a 14-1 record at home. Wake Forest 86, Duke 73
Bonus throwdown below from LD Williams:
UCLA-USC must have figured fans saw enough scoring in the All-Star game. The Trojans got the best of their crosstown rival on January 19, so you could be pretty sure it wasn't going to happen again. UCLA held OJ Mayo to 4 points with 10 turnovers to win 56-46.

I know dook fans are going to be complaining about the officiating (wow...) and how did all five starters foul out. Well if you look at the box score in a game that your starters were in foul trouble most of the game, how the hell did all your starters still exceed their average minutes per game. Ohh, I know. Coach K never goes into his bench past 7. Also two blatant fouls in favor of dook that nearly turned the game over.
Really, the fact that Duke can play hard man-to-man defense every game when they're out matched in terms of athleticism nearly every game and still hold a significant advantage in fouls is quite ridiculous.
