Wake Forest is back in the NCAA Tournament. When I saw the name pop up on the screen I had several emotions, the first of which was “whewwwww, we did it”. That thought was shortly followed by a thought of “man that’s the worst possible matchup that we could have received as an 11 seed.”
Not only did the Deacs get sent to Dayton for the play-in game as the 43rd ranked team in the S-Curve, but they got a Kansas State team, who is also better than an 11 seed would indicate.
Make no mistake, I am very happy to be in the field, and quite pleased with the way the season has gone, but this is a tough draw.
