ACC tournament is always a thrill
It was yet another exciting ACC tournament, and it came as little surprise that a school from the state of North Carolina ended up cutting down the nets and winning the conference championship.
Most expected the Tar Heels to take home the hardware, but the injury to point guard Ty Lawson and his subsequent absence was just too much to overcome. Instead, it was the rival Duke Blue Devils who squeaked out a tough win in their first game en route to winning the title.
The Maryland Terrapins made a good showing as well, knocking off North Carolina State and then upsetting Wake Forest with surprising ease to advance to the semifinals and secure an NCAA tournament berth.
The biggest upset of the tournament occurred in the first round, with Georgia Tech taking out Clemson.
