With some of these top teams losing in their conference tourneys we could move up to a 7 seed.
Also pretty hilarious the level of freakout to one upset loss to a BC team that almost beat Miami yesterday. Mentioning Forbes and Manning in the same post???? Writing off the rest of the massive improvement this season???
Grow some brain cells, folks
ESPN thinks North Texas has a shot at an at-large, they just lost in the C-USA semis.

We just needed a couple things to go our way. Indiana to not have come back down by 17 yesterday and A&M to have lost today. In addition to that, if VPI loses tonight that would cement us in the last 4 in. None of it happened, and we are done. It's not about getting hopes up...It's the reality of it. Our resume is inferior to teams that are leap frogging us.
Some of this is just tragic comedy. Based on the two big results, Lunardi flips us under Xavier as the last team in. I know it won't matter but you can't help feeling like people are messing with us. He went from:
Wyoming
Wake
X
Indiana
To now
Wyoming
Indiana
X
Wake
Just illogical.
A&M and VT having better resumes than us is at best debatable. OK, they both picked up decent wins last night/today, but before that they didn't have realistic at-large cases and were behind us in every bracketologist's mind.
It's a 30-game season, you're overrating the impact one conference tournament game has
If VT wins tonight it's hard to find a rationale for them being behind us
That loss didn't happen in a vacuum. It's just another in a long list of post-season disappointments. I'd argue big game disappointments. This season saw us competing for 2 bye seeding in the ACC, most conferences wins, biggest ACC turnaround. In those ways it definitely was ahead of any schedule I had in mind for the year. But agree with Ph and others that it doesn't matter much if we aren't building toward anything. And it appears even a brand new coach and set of transfer players can't get past our post season woes. So what BC almost beat Miami. They didn't. BC showed up to play and we didn't. That is the Wake Forest tournament way. That is why people are fed up.
Unpopular opinion but with all the accolades of the football team the ACC Championship was an embarrassment. Both of our COYs failed to prepare our teams to be competitive in big post season games. That is what everyone thinks about when they think of Wake.

Can anyone compile a single list of games that went against our bubble chances the last few days? This shit is unreal.
I don't think VT gets in unless they win tonight.
