It’s been a down season for the ACC, which might send only five of its 15 teams to the NCAA Tournament. Perennial powerhouses Duke and North Carolina have both underwhelmed at times. The Blue Devils have recovered well and earned a top-four seed in the ACC, but the Tar Heels likely need a deep run in Greensboro just to reach the big dance.
Miami and Virginia finished at the top of the conference, with the Hurricanes earning the No. 1 seed and the Cavaliers falling into place as the No. 2 seed.
Meanwhile, both Pittsburgh and NC State are hoping to lock up tournament bids after shaky finishes to the regular season.
Last year’s ACC Tournament ended with a stolen bid, as Virginia Tech upset Duke and claimed an unlikely NCAA Tournament berth. Could there be another bid stealer in the ACC this week? The conference is as wide open as ever, and it wouldn’t be shocking to see Clemson, North Carolina, or another surprise team string together a few wins.
