Wells scored 14 of his 21 points in the second half and Maryland beat pesky Wake Forest 75-62 on Thursday night in the first round of the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament.
Wells, a Raleigh native who played AAU ball for the Chris Paul All-Stars, was 11 of 12 from the field and finished two points shy of his career high of 25 set Dec. 2 against George Mason.
Kyle Williams can't believe the New York Giants weren't punished by the NFL for targeting him in last year's NFC championship game.
What Gregg Williams did wasn't all that different from what football coaches have been doing since the game was invented. He just kept detailed records.
Devin Thomas caught three passes for 37 yards this season for the New York Giants. But without the fourth-year wide receiver, a player who never realized his potential in Washington, the Giants likely aren't playing in Super Bowl XLVI Sunday evening against New England.
After muffing one punt and fumbling a second in an overtime loss last weekend, San Francisco's Kyle Williams was subjected to an all-too-predictable barrage of Twitter hate and several death threats. Compared to that, what two members of the winning New York Giants recklessly boasted about after the game sounded almost tame.
If it's true, as the saying goes, that "defense wins championships," the NFL's conference title games offered ample evidence that special teams can lose them.

Eli Manning is not going to have go-to Pro Bowl receiver Steve Smith for rest of the season, and maybe longer.
The Carolina Panthers have shored up their banged-up secondary by signing safety Gerald Alexander and have added yet another quarterback to the practice squad.
C.J. Harris scored 19 points in his final college game — but was 0-for 4 from the field after halftime — and Devin Thomas added 14 for the 10th-seeded Demon Deacons (13-18).
"We did a great job stopping Dez Wells in the first half in transition, and most of his points were (on) jump shots," Thomas said. "We would live with that because he isn't a good jump shooter — except for today — but normally he likes going to the rack. And we weren't going to allow him to go 11 for 12 from the rack again."
