Around the Interweb: Upsetting the Balance in College Basketball

In the aftermath of Wake's 86-73 win over Duke it's been fun to hear Wake mentioned in just about every bubble watch for the NCAA Tournament as well as almost any other conversation about college basketball.

Last night I had the opportunity to talk about Sunday's victory and about Wake's Tournament chances on ACC Nation. You can listen to the show here. The guys at ACC nation have also been talking about Dino's chance at coach of the year, which you can read here.

The basketball editor for Rivals.com did a feature on Jeff Teague following the win, which you can read here. It is very complimentary of Teague, who they named national freshman of the week, and I love Teague's emphasis on defense.

Wake also gets some credit in this article about the difficult position Duke ended up in by being behind against Wake.

Finally, Al-Farouq Aminu was named to the East McDonald's All American team, so that should be fun to watch as well. Congrats to him! The full roster can be seen here. I know we were hoping Ty Walker would be chosen as well, but unfortunately he's been snubbed (arguably unfairly). I'm not going to worry about it, though, because he'll be playing for Wake next year and that's all that matters.

Isn't it amazing what a big upset will do for a team like this and the publicity it gets? Let's hope they can keep it up next week when they try to make it happen back-to-back.
