So they season is already over? Good to know. Have fun.

So what does this team need to realistically go in conference to make the tourney with those three horrid early losses? 11-7?
Assuming we win out and go 11-7 that puts us at 18-12 (11-7) headed into the ACC Tournament. If we won two games in the tourney to get to the semis (since we probably wouldn't be playing on Tuesday at 11-6), that would be 20-13 with a semis loss.
Even that feels like a long shot with losses to Liberty and Drake, but it depends on who we beat in conference and how good the teams we lost to early on actually are. The Georgia Southern and Houston losses won't hurt us too much, the first two will.
That would definitely get us into the tournament.
Winning 11 games in the ACC, and then making it to the semis, would likely require us to beat multiple top-25 teams. Last year we only beat one top-40 team.
I think getting to 20-13 (11-7) with multiple top 25 wins and with our only bad losses coming in the first two weeks of the season would be a much stronger resume than the 2017 Deacs (19-13, 9-9, no bad losses but only one good win)
This is obviously a best case hypothetical, but I don't think that even with that record Wake would necessarily be in good shape to make the tournament. I don't know how the strength of schedule will end up, but it will definitely be below last years. The ACC seems to not be as down as everybody thought it was going to be, so the Deacs would be picking up some good wins over good teams. Basically we would have the opposite resume of last year with a few good wins and a few bad losses. I'm unsure how the committee would judge that.
The issue for me is that when I turned on the real TV looking for the game, I found at least 10 other CBB games being televised at 7pm, several of which did not involve P5 teams. There are literally 100 sports channels, there is absolutely no reason that a game featuring an ACC team should not be televised. If I can watch Niagara play New Hampshire on my TV, then I should be able to watch Wake play Charlotte. Instead, the Facebook thing wouldn't load on my computer and wouldn't load on my ipad. I got it to work on my phone, but it wouldn't play on the AppleTV. So I watched it on my phone like a basement-dwelling millennial for about 20 minutes and then turned it off and watched Log Cabin Kings on TV.
My comment on the Facebook production was more about the camera work, wealth of replays, lack of commercials, simple and crisp graphics. All better than the ESPN3 product. Only thing would have been more in-game stats.
I don't watch sports with the sound on, so can't comment on the broadcasting.

Is Log Cabin Kings about the gay Republican group call Log Cabin Republicans?
