With the ACC expansion to 18 teams, there have been several changes for the teams looking to play in the ACC Tournament this season. Teams played each other two times less often which threw some chaos into the standings, and the conference decided to stick with the 15-team format for the tournament, which means three teams will be playing their last game of the season today.
There was a concern that, given the size of the conference, it would lead to a situation where you could have about a million scenarios play out to determine what a team’s seeding would be.
