Conference: ACC
Dates: March 12-16
Bubble Teams: Pittsburgh & Florida State
Favorite To Win: Duke
Why not start in the most exciting conference in all of college basketball? Every year the ACC tournament is one to remember, and now with the addition of Syracuse and a few other former Big East schools, it should only get more competitive. The conference seems to have four locks in the tourney with Pittsburgh and Florida State needing to win at the minimum one game each to make a case to get into the NCAA tournament.
For teams like Duke, UNC and Virginia, winning the ACC tournament would drastically help their chances of getting a very high seed in the tourney. For Duke, if they were able to take it home, they might be able to slide into a #1 regional seed. The way the bracket is set up, we could be looking at a potential Duke vs. UNC ACC title game, so let us cross our fingers that that happens.
