The first day of the ACC men's basketball tournament has come and gone, but true to March fashion, there were a few surprises.
The day kicked off with No. 13 Boston College not only delivering a mild upset of No. 12 Pittsburgh but blowing the Panthers out of the water with a whopping 66–46 victory. The middle game of the triple-header was the calmest of them all as No. 10 Clemson topped No. 15 NC State, 70–64.
No. 11 Louisville beat No. 14 Georgia Tech in a game that was still up in the air late on until the Cardinals pulled away with an 11-point lead with just over a minute to go.
