Wake Forest is a 50-50 bubble team that may still need a win or two in the ACC basketball tournament to assure it makes the Big Dance next week.

If the season ended today, Wake Forest would likely miss the field of 68.

Here are some of the basic ratings for Wake Forest, as of March 12:

Wake Forest March Madness: Last Season

Wake Forest hasn’t played in March Madness since 2017.

Wake Forest won 44 total games during the 2021-22 and 2022-23 seasons, but Steve Forbes and the Demon Deacons have been held out of the NCAA Tournament both times. 

Wake Forest did play in the NIT in 2022, where it beat Towson and VCU before losing to Texas A&M in the quarterfinals.
