As conference play begins, all eyes will be on the ACC—or more specifically, Duke. Zion Williamson has been sidelined since suffering an ankle injury Feb. 20, and he is expected to return for conference tournament play. His presence—or absence—could swing the tournament, along with all of its other implications.
Beyond Williamson, there is plenty of intrigue in the ACC tournament. Virginia looks as dangerous as ever, and North Carolina is riding a hot end of the regular season into the knockout rounds. These games will determine how some of these teams are seeded in the NCAA tournament, or if they qualify at all.
