Men’s ACC tournament predictions 

Here is the order per game and how I believe the ACC will shake out. 

(1)       #10 Stanford vs #15 Pitt

(2)       #11 SMU vs #14 Syracuse 

(3)       #12 Virginia Tech vs #13 Wake Forest

(4)       #10 Stanford vs #7 NC State 

(5)       #11 SMU vs #6 Louisville

(6)       #8 FSU vs #9 Cal

(7)       #13 Wake Forest vs #5 Clemson

(8)       #2 UVA vs #7 NC State 

(9)       #3 Miami vs #6 Louisville

(10) #1 Duke vs #9 Cal

(11) #4 UNC vs #13 Wake Forest

(12) #2 UVA vs #6 Louisville

(13) #1 Duke vs #4 UNC

(14) #1 Duke vs #3 UVA

(15) UVA cuts down the nets

I also believe the ACC will have eight teams in the NCAA tourney with Duke, UVA, Miami, UNC, Clemson, NC State, Louisville, and the winner of the FSU/Cal game. I don’t know how accurate I will be, but I will be there firsthand to determine if these games play out as I anticipate them to.  Stay tuned for results and live coverage. And let’s see how many teams from the ACC get a chance to compete for a National Title!
