Wake only needs to beat the winner of the Pitt/ND game to advance which
they will know before they even play game one in the tourney. They advance in any 1-1 tiebreaker scenario with someone else. So once they (if) they win against the ND/Pitt winner, their other game is meaningless (as far as the ACC tourney goes). They can take one of those two games "off" essentially so they won't use any of their premium pitchers in whatever game is with the loser of the Pitt/ND game.
