ACC Post-Season Tournament Update
As you are probably aware, the post-season tournaments have been announced–with most attention deservedly focused on the Big Dance! In fact, you are probably entering bracket tournaments as we speak. Feel free to enter the Confidential’s annual contest–it is free, but also has a $25 prize via PayPal to the winner! See here. In any event, here is a recap of who from the ACC is going where:
The Big Dance
- North Carolina earned a #1 seed in the East and tipoffs of Thursday in Raleigh against a play-in team to be determined.
- Virginia also earned a #1 seed, in the Midwest, where it will begin play in Raleigh on Thursday against Hampton.
- Miami earned a #3 seed in the South and was shipped all the way up to Providence, where it will face off against Buffalo on Thursday.
- Duke will join Miami n Providence as the #4 seed, where it will face North Carolina-Wilmington on Thursday.
- Notre Dame is a #6 seed in the East, where it will face a play-in opponent in Brooklyn on Friday.
