The pollsters thought more of X than the advanced metric computers did, but this is still a great win for the Fighting Mannings. Wake has now cracked the top 100 in KenPom and maybe this is a sign they could fight their way into the middle-tier, or at least the bottom of the middle-tier, of the ACC. Danny is now in his 6th season at Wake and they have had only one season where they won more than 5 games in the league (in 2016-17 Wake went 9-9 when they had John Collins, a potential NBA All-Star). I'm not sure how much time Danny has left to turn things around but getting to 7 ACC wins this year would be a big deal for him.
