It wasn’t all that long ago that the ACC was complaining about bids to the NCAA Tournament.
That probably won’t be the case this year with Duke, UNC, Virginia, Florida State and Virginia Tech all certainly in and Syracuse, NC State and Clemson all still possible.
One of the biggest changes (aside from expansion and Maryland’s departure) is coaching.
We argued a while back that ACC coaching was, at that point, distinctly mediocre.
Now?
Look at the standings?
- Virginia
- UNC
- Duke
- Florida State
- Virginia Tech
- Louisville
- Syracuse
- NC State
- Georgia Tech
- Boston College
- Miami
- Wake Forest
- Pittsburgh
Virginia replaced the awful Dave Leitao with Tony Bennett.
