The ACC is considered a bit “down” this season after having three teams earn No. 1 seeds in the 2019 NCAA Tournament and Virginia winning it all for the first time in school history. The ACC has had at least one top seed in the Big Dance every year since 2014 but probably will not this year no matter what happens in the conference tournament.
That begins Tuesday in Greensboro, N.C., with first-time regular-season champion Florida State as the +245 second-favorite. The Seminoles have won the ACC Tournament once, in 2012. They did reach the final a year ago but lost to Duke (+240 favorite this year). Louisville (+290) and Virginia (+550) are the other schools with a double-bye to the quarterfinals.
