Yes or No
Touugh spot for a young (young for the 3rd year in a row) Wake team going up against a traditional basketball powerhouse like Nebraska......
RPI has them at 99 and they're not a top 25 team in either the AP or USA Today/ESPN. I'm kind of surprised so many folks think the Deacs will lose. I mean, I think Wake will lose but I don't think Nebraska is that good. I'd only expect the poll to be this lopsided if we were playing a top 25 team.
The problem with a yes/no poll like this is that there's no degree of separation. I'd be willing to bet that a good portion of the "no" votes are predicting a close game.RPI has them at 99 and they're not a top 25 team in either the AP or USA Today/ESPN.

That's silly. I don't care who's coaching our team, if an objective observer looked at our lineup there's no way they'd put us in the top 50 teams, and likely not the top 75.

Could be right. Those damn twins have brainwashed me with their constant Kenpom bullshit into thinking there's no way the Deacs have a chance. But now that I'm taking the time to learn a little about Nebraska they don't look that impressive. Neither are we but still, I think this game could be pretty close. But we've got one thing Nebraska doesn't have- the "Bz factor". I think a lot of people are overlooking that.
Isn't Nebraska picked to finish dead last in the big 10? Hope we have a chance at the end.
They might be, but there's no way they finish below Iowa, and prolly Penn St. too. Iowa looked like a joke last night.
