| Picture is Clearer Heading into Last Weekend | |
The seeding picture for the 2011 ACC Tournament is becoming more clear after last night's action. However, the only team locked into a seeding is Virginia Tech at #12. A full analysis is available at James Armstrong's ACC Seeding website - here are some highlights at the top of the conference:
Duke: Earns #1 seed with a win or a Miami loss.
Miami: #1 with win plus Duke loss, otherwise a #2 or #3.
FSU: Cannot finish first, guaranteed a #2 or #3 seed.
Georgia Tech: Can earn #4 seed with a win, otherwise a likely #5.
Maryland: Can grab #4 seed with a win and a Georgia Tech loss - could also be a #5 or #6.
UNC: Must defeat Duke and get help to earn #5 seed, otherwise will be seeded #6.
NC State: On a roll, NC State is once again the team nobody wants to draw in Greensboro. If stars align they could be a #7 seed, but with a season ending win they're most likely to lurk in the #8 or #9 slot.
