Projection: likely out
Wake Forest's resume shows some flashes of promise, particularly with victories against teams like Michigan and North Carolina, but their overall body of work is lacking. The losses to top-tier teams such as Duke and Florida, along with an uninspiring strength of schedule, raises concerns about their ability to compete at the highest level. Their inconsistent offensive performances, highlighted by struggles in key matchups like the blowout against Duke and the narrow escape against North Carolina in the second game, contrast sharply with a relatively solid defensive effort. Additionally, falling short against lower-tier competition, as evidenced by the loss to NC State, further complicates their tournament hopes. A strong finish against upcoming opponents would be essential to bolster their case, but at this stage, they appear to be on the wrong side of the bubble.
