Projection: need to automatically qualify
Wake Forest has started the season strong with a couple of solid wins, but their overall resume still raises concerns. While they have secured victories against lower-tier programs like Coppin State and NC A&T, the attempt to build momentum fell short with a loss to Xavier, a key opponent in the non-conference schedule. Games against Florida and Texas A&M loom large, as these will be critical opportunities to enhance their standing. However, a mixed bag of chances against teams in their conference, including challenging matchups against North Carolina and Duke, could complicate their quest for a solid tournament position. To strengthen their case, they need to capitalize on these upcoming games and consistently perform against mid-range opponents.
