Projection: likely out
Wake Forest has a mixed bag of results this season that raise significant questions about their NCAA tournament viability. Although they've scored notable wins against teams like Michigan and North Carolina, their inability to secure victories against higher-ranked opponents, such as Duke and Florida, highlights a troubling inconsistency. The losses to teams within the same conference—like NC State and Clemson—diminish their overall strength of schedule. Furthermore, their defensive metrics suggest some vulnerability, especially in those contests against ranked teams. With a few challenging matchups remaining, such as heading into conference play, they have opportunities to elevate their resume but also the potential to falter further if they can't capitalize on those chances.
