Well, we were 1-4 against the elite 8, go 2-3 we are in the NCAAT.
Sure, the ACC was a lot better than, given credit for, but watching the teams that have advanced. They play solid games and seem to follow the game plan. My view is that our team valued winning with a 'showtime' mentality more than just winning.
Watching all the NCAAT, I don't think our teams style of play would have resulted in more than 1 win.
First of all, given how things shook out I don't know if beating Miami at home would have helped enough. It would have barely been a Quad 2 win, maybe Quad 3 if it dropped Miami low enough.
Second, 1 win in the NCAAT would have meant upsetting a #6 seed. It would have been the highest seed Wake has beaten since beating #4 Iowa in 1993. So yeah, that would have been a huge deal. (Yes, Louisville was a #6 in 1996 as well)
