Most teams that square off in the ACC Tournament have already met at least twice beforehand. But for Notre Dame and Virginia, these two have met once and have no experience against the teams they are currently playing. Yes, they’ve already played once this season, but since then, Notre Dame has developed an entirely different style of play and Virginia has just started to figure out their way of winning.
For fans, these are the best matchups to watch. Teams who come in unknowing are teams that play the hardest. Without knowing what to expect, teams’ only advantage is to outmatch their opponent.
