    Conference Expansion: Stanford, California and SMU Join the ACC

    UNC will have the pick of wherever they want to go. Neither the SEC or Big 10 is in NC, and UNC is the biggest brand in NC by far. The only thing stopping them would be if the state of NC blocks them because State is not part of the move. It's read they want to make UNC and State a package deal...

    Not to belittle that accomplishment, but the only schools that trail Wake in ACC championships that were in the ACC as long as Wake are Clemson and UVA.

    Wake has never been great in the post season. Even in the Duncan years, aside from the one elite 8 run, the teams underperformed. The 2004 team made the sweet 16 but nearly lost in the 1st round, then barely beat a 12 seed in the 2nd round. I don't need to rehash the 2005 or 2009 postseasons...

    The [redacted] hire really changed the trajectory of the program. Wake made the tournament from 2001-2005, then from 2008-2010 with down years after Duncan and CP3. Wake could've made a much better hire in 2010 after Dino was let go. What Wellman was thinking at that time is still a mystery.

    My point is, I don't think Forbes has been horrible enough to fire this year, and Wake is going to struggle to find an adequate replacement if it does fire him this year. The ACC is no longer the draw it once was for coaches to overlook Wake firing a coach who brought it back to somewhat...

    I agree with this take. I think people are being unrealistic that Wake can land a big name coach or there will be a line out the door to take the job. The ACC is on its last legs and Wake could be regulated to a mid-major, whether it's in the ACC or in another conference, and no big coach is...

    It didn't seem to matter in previous years. The ACC always performs well in the tournament yet each year the media continues to tell us how bad of a conference it is compared to the mighty SEC.

    Who would Wake bring in to replace Forbes? He brought the program back from the brink and has shown he can work the transfer portal extremely well. Wake is no longer the job it was in 2010, and the ACC is no longer a selling point that it was in 2010. If he can't make the tournament in the next...

    Word was that he wanted to go to UNC, but they had Felton. Otherwise, he probably ends up at UNC. Duncan was absolutely luck.

    Lol Wake is going to decline an NIT invite? UNC could get away with it because they are UNC. They had a bit more basketball success than Wake.

    Official Kyle Filipowski assaulted a wake fan thread.

    Surprised Flipper could trip someone since his leg was amputated after a Wake student assaulted him.

    He's not getting fired. I don't think people realize what a dumpster fire this program was when he took over. The fact he has Wake relevant again is something to consider. I think he gets 2 more years and if he can't make the tournament, he will be gone. The only concerining thing is he really...

    2023-24 Wake Forest Basketball Season - 21-14 (11-9) - KP#29 / NET#43

    I believe no team ranked 41 or higher in the NET has ever missed the NCAAT. Sure, it's possible Wake falls back into the 40s before the end of the season, but as of now, there no reason for the experts to have Wake not in the tournament after last night.

    I understand the media and everyone hates the ACC, but at #26 in the NET, how is Wake STILL not in the NCAA field?

    Who does Wake hire if Forbes is let go? Wake is at least relevant again. It's going to take time to recover from the disasters that were the last two coaches.
