First here is copy of the entire bracket for your viewing pleasure. 5 ACC teams made the Big Dance. For the first time in a while, I really can’t find issues with the ACC Teams selected or seeding. Miami I felt was an NCAA worthy team, but when you look their resume there just weren’t …

It’s ACC Tournament week! I remember growing up actually telling my parents I was still suffering from the chicken pox so I could stay home and watch the Friday games. Yes I am aware I had a problem as child. I plan on being there for most of the tournament, and if I’m lucky at the ACCT …
