ACC Basketball: Final Weekend of Regular Season Games
Unfortunately, the ACC basketball season–at least the regular season–is about to come to an end. This weekend will be the second-to-last games for several teams. However, there is still much to be decided.
The current standings:
| ACC | ||
| Team | Conf. W-L | Tot. W-L |
| Duke | 13-2 | 26-4 |
| North Carolina | 13-2 | 26-4 |
| Florida St. | 11-4 | 20-9 |
| Virginia | 8-7 | 21-8 |
| N.C. State | 8-7 | 19-11 |
| Miami (Fla.) | 8-7 | 17-11 |
| Clemson | 8-7 | 16-13 |
| Maryland | 6-9 | 16-13 |
| Virginia Tech | 4-11 | 15-15 |
| Wake Forest | 4-11 | 13-16 |
| Boston College | 4-11 | 9-20 |
| Georgia Tech | 3-12 | 10-19 |
The games themselves will sort out a lot today.
The key game, of course, is the matchup between #4 Duke and #6 North Carolina. It always is. The intensity is even greater when the two teams enter the game with identical records at 26-4 overall and 13-2 in conference. And today’s game just happens to be for the regular season title and the #1 seed in the ACC tournament. So there’s that.
While #22 Florida State has third place all locked up, there is a 4-way tie for 4th place between Virginia, North Carolina State, Miami, and Clemson. Miami has the easiest path, playing 9-20 Boston College. Clemson has the toughest opponent, traveling to #22 Florida State on Sunday. On Sunday, #24 Virginia will travel to Maryland for its finale, while North Carolina State travels to Virginia Tech. The only other game features Wake Forest and Georgia Tech.
Meanwhile, #2 Syracuse will conclude its regular season on Saturday by hosting #17 Louisville. Pittsburgh will travel to Connecticut in a battle between two disappointing teams.
