Coming to Charlotte for a week of intense matchups, no one can predict what could happen in this year’s ACC tournament. While there will be several powerhouse programs looking to secure a first-place berth in the NCAA tournament, Cinderella stories should not be discounted.
The ACC is expected to receive at least seven March Madness bids, and Duke, Virginia, Louisville, North Carolina, Miami, Clemson and NC State look strong. In the bubble, SMU, Virginia Tech, Cal and Stanford would have to make an impressive run to earn an at-large bid.
Is Duke’s coronation in Charlotte inevitable?
Here’s how to listen to the ACC tournament on the radio, including the time and station of each college matchup this week.
