How does the rest of the ACC Tournament Bracket look heading to the final weekend?
Glancing at the bracket
Heading into the weekend, the top four seeds in the ACC Tournament are secured. Duke, Virginia, Miami, and North Carolina are going to get double byes. Here is how the rest of the bracket lines up heading into Saturday:
- No. 1 Duke (16-1 ACC, 28-2 overall)
- No. 13 Virginia (14-3 ACC, 26-4 overall)
- No. 22 Miami (13-4 ACC, 24-6 overall)
- No. 17 North Carolina (12-5 ACC, 24-6 overall)
- Clemson (11-6 ACC, 21-9 overall)
- Louisville (10-7 ACC, 21-9 overall)
- NC State (10-7 ACC, 19-11 overall)
- Florida State (9-8 ACC, 16-14 overall)
- Cal (9-8 ACC, 21-9 overall)
- Stanford (8-9 ACC, 19-11 overall)
- SMU (8-9 ACC, 19-11 overall)
- Virginia Tech (8-9 ACC, 19-11 overall)

First Round of Provisional ACC Tournament
- (12)Virginia Tech vs. (13) Wake Forest
- (10) Stanford vs. (15) Pittsburgh
- (11) SMU vs. (14) Syracuse
Second Round of Provisional ACC Tournament After Feb. 22
- (8) Florida State vs. (9) Cal
- (12/13) Virginia Tech OR Wake Forest vs. (5) Clemson
- (10/15) Stanford OR Pittsburgh vs. (7) NC State
- (11/14) SMU OR Syracuse vs. (6) Louisville
Quarterfinals of Provisional ACC Tournament After Feb. 22
- (1) Duke vs. (8/9) Florida State OR Cal
- (4) North Carolina vs. (5/12/13) Clemson OR Virginia Tech OR Wake Forest
- (2) Virginia vs. (7/10/15) NC State OR Stanford OR Pittsburgh
- (3) Miami vs. (6/11/14) Louisville OR SMU OR Syracuse
If the bracket stays like this, I think it would be favorable for Virginia. They have already beaten NC State twice, as well as having beaten Stanford and Pittsburgh. If they win their quarterfinal matchup, UVA will likely face Miami in the semifinals, provided that the Hurricanes win their quarterfinal matchup. Virginia and Miami played one of the best games in the conference this past season and it would be a potential classic if they met again.
Of course if Virginia makes it to the ACC Tournament Championship, they will almost certainly be facing Duke, the No. 1 team in the entire country. The Blue Devils are looking like one of the best teams in recent history and just blew out UVA. Could the play better in a rematch?
