Projected seed: 9

Wake Forest's recent victories against Coppin State, NC A&T, and Michigan showcase their potential, but the overall resume lacks the depth needed for a secure tournament spot. Their upcoming schedule features several critical matchups, like the game against Boston College, which represents a pivotal opportunity to boost their profile against a solid opponent. However, the defense's inconsistency—evidenced by struggles in games against lower-ranked teams—could be a concern, particularly as they face tougher challenges like Duke and Virginia down the line. The team’s ability to perform in high-pressure games will ultimately determine whether they can solidify their tournament credentials.
