This is craziness!! Sure > beats the predictability of the Big East or ACC. What ACC predictability??? The only thing predictable about the ACC is that on any given day, any ACC team can beat any other ACC team. Witness Maryland beating UNC for example who was ranked #1 at the time. And Maryland isn't even .500 in ACC conference play. Then, they almost beat Georgia Tech. (Tech has been ranked in the top 5 for the entire season and ended up shooting 70% from the field to win that game.) Whoops. There's one more thing predictable about the ACC. Dean Smith *will* have UNC in the thick of things every year. They may not win (I hope not, at least), but they'll be right there. (This is high praise coming from a Tech fan... but deserved.) The ACC tournament should be interesting. And unpredictable. It's going to take some great play by the top seeds just to get to where they're supposed to be. I think 2 of the top 3 seeds (UNC, Duke, and Tech -- order to be determined this weekend) will make it to the final four. I'll be really suprised if all 3 do. I've got this bad feeling...
