The top tier of the ACC — Duke, Clemson, and Louisville — has really separated itself from the pack as we head into the home stretch of the season. Other than the Blue Devils, Tigers, and Cardinals, however, the tournament resumes of every other team in the conference are lacking.
ESPN’s Joe Lunardi had just three ACC teams in his latest NCAA Tournament bracket with SMU, Wake Forest, and North Carolina each sitting in the ‘First Four Out’ category. If things don’t break in the ACC’s direction, the conference might be staring at its fewest number of teams in the Big Dance since 2013.
