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

Sorry if I missed it, but what happened to the game threads? Legit question, haven’t been on the boards as much the past 2 weeks and just noticed with the VT game that there wasn’t a game thread.
 
I really think F350 should be Efton’s nickname. Think of the NIL possibilities from Ford.
 
Back on September 15th Wake/Forbes announced that Jao Ituka was going to miss 4-6 months. We're still a little shy of the 4 month mark but he was jumping around on the bench today quite a bit - anyone have any insight about whether he's getting close to being cleared for practice? I'm sure more people will start asking once we actually hit 4 months.
 
Wake sits at 10-3 (2-0 ACC) this morning and 58th in the NET. Here's how the profile is looking as far as Quads are concerned:

Q1: 0-1 (lost to Utah - neutral)
Q2: 3-1 (lost to UGA - road, beat Florida and Virginia Tech at home, beat BC on the road)
Q3: 2-1 (lost to LSU - neutral, beat Rutgers - home, beat Towson - neutral)
Q4: 5-0

Q1 considerations: We need Florida to finish top 30 in the final ratings to be a Q1 win and Utah to stay in the top 50 for that to be a Q1 loss. If BC gets to the top 75, this becomes a Q1 win.

Q2 considerations: UGA needs to finish in the top 135 and LSU needs to be in the top 100 for these to be Q2 losses instead of tacking on a Q3 loss. For Rutgers to get to a Q2 win, we need them to finish in the top 75. VT needs to stay in the top 75.

Q3 considerations: Towson needs to be in the top 200 to be a Q3 instead of a Q4 win. They are currently 199 as of this morning. This probably does not matter at all but it's something.

Overall: Remains pretty likely that Florida is close to Q1 most of the year, Utah will be a Q1, UGA is a Q2 and LSU and Rutgers, barring a big turnaround should end up as Q3 games.

Remaining games/opportunities as of right now based on current NET:

Q1 (8): State (road), UNC (road), Pitt (road), Duke (road), UVA (road), Duke (home), VT (road), Clemson (home)
Q2 (5): UVA (home), Miami (home), State (home), Tech (away), Pitt (home)
Q3 (4): Cuse (home), ND (road), Tech (home), FSU (road)
Q4 (1): Louisville (home)

Torvik's current projected breakdown for Wake's quadrants (this does not equal the total of games added above, as it accounts for fringe teams/probablity of moving up/falling spots)

Q1: 2-6
Q2: 6-3
Q3: 5-3
Q4: 6-0

So we've got 18 games left and it roughly half are going to be Q1 opportunities. We've got chances moving forward and just need to take care of business so that the committee is dealing with seeding rather than if we're in the field.
