ESPN’s Myron Medcalf annually makes a series of what he calls “bold” predictions for the NCAA Tournament. This year, one of his boldest – and loudest – predictions is that the ACC will underperform. His very first pick was that no ACC team will reach the Final Four in San Antonio.
He might be right, but his prediction flies in the face of recent NCAA Tournament history. Because the fact is that the ACC is currently on the greatest three-year NCAA run in the history over the tournament.
In the last three years, the ACC has won two national titles and missed a third on a last-second shot.
