Projection: need to automatically qualify
Wake Forest has had a decent start to the season, but their overall resume raises some red flags. Victories against Coppin State and North Carolina A&T don’t carry much weight, while the win against Michigan is impressive but needs substantiation with more quality victories. The loss to Xavier highlights defensive vulnerabilities that could be troubling moving forward. To strengthen their standing, they must capitalize on opportunities in upcoming games, particularly against Boston College and James Madison, while aiming for at least one significant upset against a top-tier opponent like North Carolina or Duke. A solid performance against these rivals could propel them into a more favorable position come tournament time.
