I would be shocked. Alondes is a fringe second round pick, not like he's going to play his way out of the lottery. Playing basketball is fun. If WF wins three (probably all at home) games, they can have another pre-NIT Final 4 tomahawk steak dinner at Peter Lugar's; this time DR can give the motivational sermon citing how Phil Mickelson overcame countless barriers as a rich kid from the hard scrabble fairways of San Diego to earn millions and rub elbows with rich Saudis and the White Shark. Riveting.
It's really not possible. It's an artificial construct designed to torture Wake fans.
Yeah, honestly, it sucks so bad. But at least we don't have to sweat out any more bubble games, we can enjoy the stuff you just mentioned, and we are ahead of schedule in Forbes' rebuild, IMO. I'm as bummed as everyone else, and had to text Mako earlier for some comfort, but it's time we accept our *destiny* and enjoy what Forbes is doing. Would be awesome to hang an NIT banner, but it's going to be a challenge. Will be a lot of solid teams.
Here's to a good portal season!
This “ahead of schedule” talk sounds like that RChill22 poster after the First Four year. I feel better about Forbes than Manning obviously, but being ahead of schedule means winning in March and showing some stability. If we don’t bring most of the guys who can leave back, my optimism is solely based on Forbes’ track record at ETSU.
A&M winning today doesn't clearly move them above us. If they win again tomorrow though that'd be a different story.
Only way we get squeezed out at least at the moment is if the committee deems a team Lunardi currently has out is in gets above us, and those teams have pretty flimsy resumes -- Indiana already had some quality wins and may have gotten in anyway. What would really fuck us is bid steals, but there haven't been any as of yet.
Long story short, TL;DR, keep the faith
Assuming we still have a chance, how worried should we be about Cincy over Houston?
Dudes, we have a 0.0% chance. I'm the biggest biased Wake homer out there. It's over. We will most likely be a 1 seed in the NIT. Depending on some other results the next couple days, could drop to a 2 seed.
I get not wanting to get your hopes up but this isn't correct.
I pointed out people were wrong to assume we were in the field earlier on. The opposite is true now too
