ACC Tournament 2023 Preview
This year’s ACC tournament may feature only three ranked teams, but that could add to the competition with NCAA Tournament bids on the line.
Thirteenth-ranked Virginia (23-6), No. 14 Miami (24-6), and No. 21 Duke (23-8) all look like locks for the Big Dance. North Carolina State (22-9) and Pittsburgh (21-10) enter the ACC tournament as bubble teams for the Big Dance according to ESPN Bracketology. Clemson (22-9) and defending national runner-up North Carolina (19-12) sit on the edge of tournament bubbles bursting.
Here’s a look at the bracket and the ACC teams in the field.
Miami
ACC regular season co-champion Miami made a deep run in the NCAA Tournament last year, and this year’s team looks poised to do the same. Junior guard Isaiah Wong has another strong season going with 15.9 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 3.4 assists per game.
Virginia
Fellow ACC regular season co-champion Virginia looks to get the season sweep with a conference tournament crown plus restore the recent glory of a 2019 national championship season. Cavaliers senior guard Armaan Franklin leads a deep and balanced attack with 12.6 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 1.4 assists per game.
Clemson
While the Tigers took third in the regular season, it could take a deep run in the tournament to punch a ticket to the Big Dance. Senior guard Hunter Tyson leads the team with 15.7 points, 9.5 rebounds, and 1.5 assists per game.
Duke
A seamless transition of power has the Blue Devils looking about as good as ever under first-year head coach Jon Scheyer. Freshman center Kyle Filipowski leads the team with 15 points, 9.2 rebounds, and 1.5 assists per game.
Pitt
If Pittsburgh can make a deep enough run, the Panthers could get a rematch with Miami after a thriller last week. The Hurricanes held off Pitt 78-76 to secure a share of the regular season conference title on March 4.
N.C. State
The Wolfpack challenged defending national champion Kansas early in the season and fared well in the ACC this season. Sophomore guard Terquavion Smith leads the Wolfpack with 17.3 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 4.4 assists.
North Carolina
While the Tar Heels appeared to have fallen a ways from its Final Four appearance last year, a big run in the ACC tournament could spark a quick turnaround. UNC heated up late in the regular season with three-straight wins, including Virginia, before a close home loss against Duke.
Syracuse
The Orange (17-14) will need a big showing to avoid the program’s first two-year NCAA Tournament drought since 2012. Orange senior guard Joseph Girard III leads the team with 16.7 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.9 assists per contest.
Wake Forest
Losing four of the past five games, Wake Forest (18-13) will need a quick turnaround when opening against Syracuse on Wednesday, March 8. Senior guard Tyree Appleby leads Wake Forest with 18.8 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 6.3 assists per game.
Boston College
The Eagles (15-16) posted a three-game winning streak right before a season-finale loss to Georgia Tech. Senior guard Makai Ashton-Langford leads the Eagles with 12.1 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 2.8 assists per game.
Virginia Tech
Ranked early in the season, Virginia Tech (18-13) looks to come back strong in the ACC tournament. Senior forward Grant Basile leads the Hokies with 16.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 1.8 assists per game.
Florida State
While the Seminoles (9-22) didn’t live up to recent expectations, the ACC tournament provides a second and final chance for a big season. Sophomore guard Matthew Cleveland leads the team with 14 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 1.8 assists per game.
Georgia Tech
The Yellowjackets (14-17) look to make some noise at the ACC tournament after an up-and-down regular season. Sophomore guard Miles Kelly leads the team with 14.2 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 1.4 assists per game.
Notre Dame
The Fighting Irish (11-20) will need a monster run in the ACC tournament to have any shot at an NCAA Tournament berth. Senior forward Nate Laszewski leads the team with 14 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 1.3 assists per game.
Louisville
Still only a shell of the program’s former glory, Louisville (4-27) looks to play spoiler at the ACC tournament. Senior guard El Ellis is a bright spot for the Cardinals with 17.7 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 4.4 assists per game.
