if we win the ACCT, I don't care how many Quad 1 wins we have
Win the tourney and Wake could be 4-26 and still get in.

Michigan State-Maryland
Watching the Mannequin leading Md. to an obvious train wreck reminds me of how painful his tenure was at Wake. To hell with Ron Wellman and Thank God for John Currie!
Isaiah Wilkens choose wisely when he transferred to Longwood. They were the regular season champion and secured a bid to the Dance with Big South tournament championship victory over Winthrop this afternoon. Wilkens averaged 16 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists and 1.3 steals in the tourney.
If you can consistently beat those teams soundly? Yeah probably. Teams in the 30s-40s drop games like that all the time.
They’re a hard test case. I’ve got them at #17 overall, top #5 on my s-curve. Their analytics put them as a 1-2 seed. Their strength of record is coincidentally 17th. Their resume puts them maybe #30-35. So you have to thread the needle a bit, don’t give them credit for being top tier, but probably above the general masses.
I guess to drive it home more than what do the 1 seeds think — if Wake is a 9-seed, I’d be so pissed if we drew Houston round 1. I think we’d beat most of the 8s that get put in front of us but I wouldn’t feel good that we’d win that one.
Appreciate the info. I looked at your last update and feel like I’m on a anti-Xavier tour, but how do you justify them making it?
Maybe there were enough great wins over the weekend, but does seem like Wake was us being “punished” for having the weekend off. With 15 ACC teams, one a year will be given the final weekend off.
Wake's going to have a comparison problem being 2-5 against the projected field. Xavier is 5-9. We have a profile of a team that ends up getting a surprisingly bad seed, historically. No really strong wins and a very weak out of conference schedule. Of course, this won't matter when we win the ACC Tournament.
