ACC Basketball Tournament: Bracket update, schedule, TV info for March 8
By Ethan Stone
Published:
The ACC Tournament kicked off Tuesday, ending the seasons of Florida State, Notre Dame and, to the deep relief of some in northern Kentucky, Louisville. 12 teams remain to vie for the crowd, with 8 ACC programs in action Wednesday for Round 2 action.
The conference is down this year, but there do seem to be some clear favorites at the top of the pack. Miami, Duke and Virginia seem to have the best shots, though if history has been any indicator, seeding may not matter. After all, 7-seed Virginia Tech shocked the conference and won it all last year.

If you’re looking for a dark horse pick, North Carolina or NC State may be good options based on how the bracket shapes out. Clemson and Virginia’s side of the bracket is much more favorable than Miami/Duke, and it’s not crazy to think either can knock off their respective higher seeds in the quarterfinal round Thursday.
The tough team to beat is going to be Miami, though Duke has surged to finish the season winning 6 straight heading into the tournament. Who’s your pick?
