I don't think we'd have to win 10 games to make the tournament. We could get in with 8 if one of those comes against Duke or UNC, or if we make it to Saturday in the ACC Tournament (which would, as of right now, mean either beating UVA or FSU plus one bottom feeder on Thurs and Fri).
2/4/2012 3:03:46 PM
9-10 wins in this year's ACC with our OOC wins...
2/4/2012 3:12:53 PM
we're NIT bound so cut out this optimism bullshit, we sank our battleship with those atrocious GT and UVA games
2/4/2012 3:21:17 PM
UVA loss wasn't as bad as you make it soundthis conference will get 4 teams in the dance at bare minimum...UVA is gonna be one of those teams, so a 1-point loss to a ranked NCAA tourney team isn't atrocious
2/4/2012 3:23:10 PM
even if we finish out 10-6, unless we upset FSU, UNC, or Duke along the way for one of them, we won't have beaten a single tournament team. if VT the past couple of years didn't get in with crap wins, we won't either. it'll take something special in the ACC tournament to get a bid, and I just don't see it[Edited on February 4, 2012 at 3:33 PM. Reason : unless UNC-A wins the Big South lol]
2/4/2012 3:29:29 PM
Asheville is probably a tourney team but yeah10 conference wins and 21 total is at least in the bubble discussion, the Big Least isnt gonna get 9 teams in this year since they're almost as down as the ACC[Edited on February 4, 2012 at 3:35 PM. Reason : ^yep lol]

Just got back from the game. Good win!
2/4/2012 3:59:22 PM
Fun game. Wake had a rash of WTF-type shots that went in, but we never blinked. All five starters were big-time today. Howell was Howell ... Wood was Wood ... Zo was the good Zo ... CJL was only slightly infuriating ... and CJW continues to do just about everything right. Gotta love the throwback mid-range J
2/4/2012 4:10:14 PM
21 wins in the regular season gets us in. The Big East is down, the PAC-12 is non-existent, we'll get in with a 10-6 ACC mark. If we slip to 9-7 we're in serious bubble trouble.
2/4/2012 4:10:40 PM
WOLFPACK WIN!
2/4/2012 4:10:46 PM
Krispy Kreme Challenge before the game was a bit much. Almost puked jumping at one point.
2/4/2012 4:12:59 PM
Theres always teams like that that get in. Teams that haven't beaten anybody, have decent records and make it. We will be one of those last four in last four out wtf type teams.

Surprised they aren't throwing shit after that dunk
2/4/2012 6:08:32 PM
does this dude keep the mask on while he's watching the game?
2/4/2012 6:17:50 PM
First game I haven't been able to watch all season. But the pictures make up for part of it.This one just like an attempt at a sexy pose. Hah.I loved all of the ones of Williams' parents, but this was my favorite.
2/4/2012 6:20:34 PM
^That's good stuffAlso, that scoop shot by Zo was incredible. Every now and then he does something completely un-human
2/4/2012 6:23:32 PM

http://nitology.com/In the NCAA tournament, according to the authoritative source on the NIT. Big East gets 8, Big 10 gets 7, Big 12 gets 6. If that's how it pans out, then the ACC gets 5. This is what I've been counting on since Northwestern always looks like this right before they collapse and don't make it after all, and no one else in the Big East or Big 12 will be getting in, and all the other leagues aren't a factor in this.If we aren't, at least we'd be a top NIT seed.Pretty good, considering where we could be.
2/4/2012 6:58:16 PM
Why does Zo look so ripped in all of his photos?You'd think that by looking at the guy that he should be dunking all over bitches.

how has the crowd been this year?
2/4/2012 8:16:50 PM
2/4/2012 8:21:14 PM
student section has been pretty good. Lower bowl usually 80% full, 300 level on sidelines only
2/4/2012 8:22:25 PM
^^ If we finish 9-7, we have no leg to stand on because we lost to a shitty team, again. If we have shown that we can't beat tourney teams, what's the point of letting us in the tourney?
2/4/2012 8:26:53 PM
well, I did say that the only way we get in at 9-7 is if we make a decent run in the ACCT. That usually means beating a tourney team. I just think having 2 extra at large bids is gonna mean a couple more mediocre big six conference teams get in than in the past. We could be one of those teams.

Camera man had a few closeups on this beauty during the broadcast. *sigh*

We can make it to 10-6 with our best win in conference being @Miami. If we win the GT, Miami, Clemson and VT games, we make it to 10-6. HOPEFULLY, we can do that AND steal atleast one of the FSU, Duke and UNC games. If we can do that and make it to 11-5, we are in, no questions asked. If we end up 10-6, then we will need to win atleast one game in the ACC Tourney to feel good about our chances. Our toughest MUST WIN game left is against Miami if you ask me. I'm looking at the GT, Miami, Clemson and VT games as our MUST WIN games left. The Duke, UNC and FSU games are just chances to supplement our resume

Wake live off points inside the arc...Oh fuck it. Rally knows his shit. Y'all just hate. The pack makes the ncaa's with a 10-6 record in conference play. We win the first game (12-5 matchup? Then lose to Wisconsin. 2013 we are a force to be reckoned with. Wake forest can't handle their new rivals...
2/5/2012 4:21:30 AM
haha that dude looks like a cracked out larry bird.
2/5/2012 9:01:31 AM
Is he really holding a sign of his own face? I didn't even notice the first time....
2/5/2012 9:30:29 AM
yep, i find it to be quite hilarious

Indeed.
