The ACC is not as strong of a conference as it has been in recent years.
The flaws displayed by the top teams throughout conference play could show in the 2023 ACC tournament in Greensboro, North Carolina.
The No. 1 seed Miami Hurricanes won eight of their final nine games to top the standings, but the one loss in that span featured a blown 25-point lead against the Florida State Seminoles.
The Pittsburgh Panthers, Virginia Cavaliers and Duke Blue Devils, the No. 2-4 seeds, all suffered consecutive losses in league play.
The early storyline of the ACC tournament will be the NCAA men's basketball tournament prospects of the North Carolina Tar Heels.
