This is a really tough sandwich spot for Wake Forest in between a maddening 49-47 loss at Virginia littered with missed opportunities and the upcoming home showdown against Duke that represents one of the last chances to really beef up the NCAA Tournament profile. On the other side, Pitt has been absolutely rolling since beating Wake at home back on Jan. 31, winning five in a row and now having wins in seven of their last 8. Blake Hinson has been on fire from deep going 35-for-69 (50.1%) in that 8-game stretch. His shooting is a key to Pitt staying inside that number on the road on Tuesday night.

Win five straight and seven of eight in the ACC and pretty soon you can’t help but show up on the Big Dance bubble. So, hello Pitt, which was mostly flying under the radar for the first couple of months. But the Panthers (also 7-0-1 their last eight vs. the line) are forcing their way into Selection Sunday discussions with the recent surge that includes wins at Duke and Virginia to further open the eyes of the Committee members. Jeff Capel's ace-in-hand right now is rampaging F Blake Hinson, the former Ole Miss transfer who has been on fire lately, off of personally destroying the ‘Ville with 41 points on Saturday after putting 27 on Tony Bennett’s Pack-Line defense at Charlottesville.
