All cheer Jeremis Smith
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Sorry to blog so late.
Two best individual games of the year: Moe Miller last Sat. at Va. Tech in a loss )29 pts., etc., etc.), and Jeremis Smith today.
16 points, 13 rebounds, goes flying out of bounds twice on tough plays, crashing horrifficly both times, spasming the first time after taking a cameraman’s knee dead center in the middle of the back.
Leaves game injured twice, draws a charge to foul out Wake’s best player (Teague), and this may go forgetten by some.
End of the game, 8.8 left, game tied, Tech inbounds, Miller gets stripped in the lane, and Wake’s Ish Smith — the fastest or second-fastest players in the ACC (ty lawson) breaks the other way. somebody lays out, reaches around, and tips the ball away, forward.
Five seconds left? ISH Smith outraces all to the ball a second time, easy layup with 1 second left. wake wins.
Two seconds left (which is when ISH smith took off), though and there’s not enough time for him to catch up.
No game-winning shot by Wake’s ISH Smith.
Tech’s Smith made the play.
Weird, and eventually fun, game.
