I was listening on the @accnetwork‘s ACC PM today to an interview from Wake Forest’s Steve Forbes. The topic of bracket projections came up, and while we’ve been screaming about lack of bid projections for the ACC, it’s rare when a coach talks as strongly as Wake Forest’s Steve Forbes did about it. Good for the @accnetwork and letting Forbes have a voice, as he let noted ACC hater ESPN’s Joe Lunardi have it.
Wake Forest coach Steve Forbes: “I don’t know how Bracketology works. I stay in my lane. I leave it to the experts. Joel Lunardi at ESPN, he’s an expert. He’s carved out a great career doing it and so good for him.

“The problem that I have with Joe in regards to the ACC is he doesn’t like to stay in his lane. He’s criticized our league and our players in the past. He said that if we want more bids, then we got to do a better job recruiting.

“We have the most drafted players in the history of the NBA from the ACC. And if we’re talking about over the past five years since the NET, we’re second only to the SEC in drafted players, and it’s not even close.”

Steve Forbes speaking the truth.
