I've posted it elsewhere, but the Pittsburgh @ Clemson game tonight is HUGE.

Clemson needs a win to stay in double-bye contention.

Brad Brownell is 7-0 SU and ATS against Jeff Capel. Brad Brownell has won 12 straight and covered every game against Pitt.
 
Obviously a Pitt win is better for Wake.
 
I don't think there's any risk of Clemson dropping out of the top 30. There's a chance Pitt could get into the top 30. More importantly, a Pitt win would make it less likely Clemson-Wake is for a double-bye.

My wish list:

1: Make the dance
2: Not be in a play in game
3: Not be an 8 seed (could be fine if we’re Purdue’s bc the Big Ten is overrated)
4: Preferably not UT’s 7 seed if they’re the 2

As shown previously by Lunardi's updated projection, if you do happen to draw UT's pod as a #7/#8/#9/#10 seed, it is almost certainly going to be played in Charlotte, which would be easy for Wake fans to get to. That's the Vols closest possible 1st/2nd round site this year.
 
I wonder if Tennessee fans would rather go to Memphis than Charlotte. Obviously Charlotte is closer for many Tennessee, but there's also the chance they could draw Clemson, Wake, or even South Carolina (conferences don't matter anymore, right?) in their pod.

You think it's more likely that Pitt moves from 47 to 30 (or better) in the NET than Clemson falls from 23 to 31 (or worse)?

The discussion I've seen on this is, yes, they would prefer Memphis and no, the committee won't care and will adhere to their mileage principle in site placement of teams.
 
Yeah, there’s absolutely a risk that Clemson falls out of the NET top 30 if they lose to Pitt and Wake. Would have to be more than one point losses, but that risk certainly exists.

I think you can still spin the Pitt-Clemson game as a positive for Wake regardless of which team wins
 
If (when) we beat GT at the Joel next week, we should have that same fan run out onto the court (by himself) after the game to trip over Baye Ndongo's outstretched leg.

It could become a thing.

In the finale, he can run into PJ Hall.

Who do we want to win that one?

Yes. Pitt has a decent shot of winning out. I don't think losing reasonable games against Pitt and Wake would drop Clemson that far.

TCU dropped from NET 30 to 37 because they lost to Baylor by 8 last night. Losing to Baylor is a better loss than losing to Wake or Pitt
