Let ACC Bracketology season begin!
This wasn’t overly hard to work through since the imbalance in games played throughout the league standings has it existing without a whole bunch of ties at the present time. That’s probably not going to be the case in a week, and we’re likely all going to need to get a dramatic tune-up on our tiebreaker knowledge.
Heading into tonight’s slate of games, here’s how the ACC tournament looks:
First Round: Tuesday, March 6
Game 1: No. 13 Georgia Tech vs. No. 12 Notre Dame – 12 p.m.
Game 2: No. 15 Pittsburgh vs. No. 10 Boston College – 2 pm.
Game 3: No. 14 Wake Forest vs. No. 11 Florida State – 7 p.m.
Second Round: Wednesday, March 7
Game 4: No. 9 NC State vs. No. 8 Syracuse – 12 p.m.
Game 5: Winner of Game 1 vs. No. 5 Louisville – 2 p.m.
Game 6: Winner of Game 2 vs. No. 7 Miami – 7 p.m.
Game 7: Winner of Game 3 vs. No. 6 Virginia Tech – 9 p.m.
Quarterfinals: Thursday, March 8
Game 8: Winner of Game 4 vs. No. 1 Virginia – 12 p.m.
Game 9: Winner of Game 5 vs. No. 4 North Carolina – 2 p.m,
Game 10: Winner of Game 6 vs. No. 2 Clemson – 7 p.m.
Game 11: Winner of Game 7 vs. No. 3 Duke – 9 p.m.
Semifinals: Friday, March 9
Game 12: Winner of Game 8 vs. Winner of Game 9 – 7 p.m.
Game 13: Winner of Game 10 vs. Winner of Game 11 – 9 p.m.
Championship: Saturday, March 10
TBD – 8:30 p.m.
Obviously it’s going to take a considerable amount of work for Louisville to hang onto a top five spot, but here’s hoping the bracket looks at least somewhat similar two and a half weeks from now.
