Iβm still on this soapbox but. Wake and Virginia baseball have identical 26-7 (9-6 ACC) records. Wake has played a harder schedule, similar RPIs (both top 15), same Q1 record (5-5) and Uva took 2 of 3 from Wake H2H. UVA is top 10 per @d1baseball and Wake is unranked.
I have watched, worked with and seen a ton of college basketball analysts over the years.
Iβll put Randolph Childress and Terrence Oglesby against any of them. These two guys grinded all season, watching games every night and giving both insight and informed opinions.
Reminder: Wake apparently had 0 good wins because the ACC was considered βweakβ
3 of the Elite 8, 2 in the Final 4, and 1 in the National Championship game.
That 1 team is North Carolina, a team the Deacs smashed by 21.
Argument stands. NIT > NCAA Tournament
When Wake did not make the tourney, we were told it was because the ACC is βweakβ
Of all conferences with at least 3 teams in the tournament, the ACC has the highest % of teams to make the Sweet 16 (60%)
For reference:
MW: 0%
B10: 11%
WCC: 33%
SEC: 16%
Big East: 40%
