Is Wake on the bubble?

No.
Despite what a large part of the Wake Forest fanbase would tell you, Wake will still be in the tournament come Selection Sunday. Yes they flamed out down the stretch again. Yes it's full-on panic mode. Yes the way they're playing, they don't exactly look like a tournament team.
But there are a lot of other teams in 
mode right now (yes I'm talking to you Texas, Villanova, Clemson, et al). So by the numbers, here is why Wake Forest is still safe and in the NCAA Tournament:
19-10 (9-7)
RPI 37
SOS 28
Best Wins: Richmond (25), Xavier (21), Gonzaga (35), Maryland (19), GT (40), Clemson (33).
8-8 vs. Top 100
#50 in KenPom: #26 defensive efficiency, #4 defensive eFG%, #8 defensive 3PT%, #23 block%, #22 OReb%, #8 SOS
Look I know the Deacs have played really poorly. I'm not arguing about that. I am saying, if you look at it rationally, with the weak at-large pool, Wake's resume is good enough and they are safe.

Blogger So Dear author, Bart, sent us a quick preview of the Deacons so we could get a feel for this weekend's first ACC series. First pitch is scheduled for today at 4:00PM. The game will most likely be postponed due to inclement weather but here's the scoop on Wake Forest...

Deacon Dump 3/12: Pick up the pieces

The Deacs bowed out of the ACC Tournament early again and now it's time to wait. The Deacs should still be safely in on Selection Sunday, but their seeding was definitely impacted and public perception is that it's just Wake Forest crumbling down the stretch all over again. The team has a lot of time to rest and try to get it together, but unless they can regain some confidence they will be in trouble, no matter who or where they play next week.

My name is Bart Johnston and I have an addiction. I'm addicted to Wake Forest sports. If you're on this site, reading this article you are probably in some capacity addicted to Wake Forest as well. I call it an addiction because it's one of those things that you would almost have to be crazy to do. I love being a part of the Wake Forest community and that is why the following article pains me as I type it out and put it out there for you guys to see and debate.

"It's like the worst roller-coaster ride I've ever been on, playing in this game," said senior L.D. Williams of the Deacons. "It was horrible. We couldn't get stops. We couldn't score on offense. We couldn't finish on the break. It was just so many things.
"They got 50-50 balls and turned them into buckets. It was just a little bit of everything."

Well, what can I say? Guess it's another haiku.
Same old song and dance
Law of Eternal Return
Guess Nietzsche was right.
