NET for Wake will improve and could be quite a few spots. Note that UVA dropped 9 spots in the NET and VA Tech improved 9 spots after the Hokies 34 point home win over the Hoos (a Quad 2 win).

NET matters and Wake will move up from 40 after tonight's win. The knock on Wake is lack of Quad 1 wins (1-6 in Quad 1 games with only win over Florida at home). Tonight's win is a Quad 2 win (which may be why Lunardi was dismissive), moving Wake to 5-3 in this quadrant. There are 3 remaining...

Despite what Lunardi says, margin of victory definitely helps improve your NET because it improves your efficiency numbers.

According to Bart Torvik site (https://barttorvik.com/team.php?team=Wake+Forest), Wake is shooting 41.4% on 3PT at home, 14th in the nation, while shooting 31.9% in away / neutral site games, 223rd in the nation.

Other than UConn, Purdue and maybe Houston, there are very few (if any) elite NCAA basketball teams. The difference between team 5 and 50 in the NET is just not that wide. Wake is a good to very good team that should make the tournament and depending upon match-ups, could get to second...

First of all, I am a Forbes supporter and do not want to see him go anytime soon. He is a great fit for Wake, especially in the NIL / transfer portal era of college sports. To use Steve's own words, your team is either "getting better or getting worse" - in the 5 ACC road losses, Wake gave up...

Bart Torvik makes a tournament projection, not a "what if the season ended today" at https://barttorvik.com/tranketology.php He has Wake as a #10 seed with one of the last 4 byes.

Looking for 4 tickets for Georgia Tech game.

Brind'Amour deserves more credit for how he switched up the forward lines for this series - the offense has been much more dynamic and spread across multiple lines.

That one he hit in the second game of the Pitt series was unbelievable. I think the announcer said that the home run was "disrespectful" it went so far.

This and being outscored by 12 from FT line.

How about switching to a zone for a couple of possessions?

Wales ended up with one more shot (7-6) and two more shots on goal (3-1) than the US. For all the dominance of possession in the first half by the US, there was really only 3 scoring chances (the goal, the "almost" own goal followed immediately by the Sargent header that hit the outside of the...

A casual soccer fan here but Tyler Adams and Jedi Robinson appeared to clearly be the best players for the US - very smart play, great speed and unlimited energy. Also, Tim Ream looked really solid as well, especially for a guy who seems to catch a lot of grief. Tim Weah was the most dangerous...
