Tournament Games:
(2) Wake Forest 70 - (15) UT-Chatanooga 54

The good: Have some of the best guard play outside of Illinois. 10-3 vs the field and they played quality competition. Probably the best team in the ACC. 10-5 Road/Neutral games.

The bad: They have to travel all over the country in this tourney. Wake Forest can get together with Lute Olson and complain about the various biases in college basketball. Guarantee you that there are not many Wake Forest fans in Albuquerque. The fans there would like nothing better than to cheer against an ACC team. They have trouble putting away teams. The performance without Chris Paul should send shivers up the spines of Wake Forest fans. He will be available for the NCAA tourney, but what happens if he fouls out late?
