The 2020 ACC Tournament tips off on Tuesday, March 10 and runs through Saturday, March 14, with the winner earning an automatic bid to March Madness. The tournament will take place at Greensboro Coliseum in Greensboro, N.C.
Florida State won the regular-season title outright and earned the No. 1 seed with an 80-62 win over Boston College on Saturday, the program’s first time doing so since joining the conference. After winning 11 of their past 12 games, the defending national champion Virginia Cavaliers are the No. 2 seed, jumping No. 3 Louisville and No. 4 Duke in the process.
Georgia Tech will be absent from the tournament due to a postseason ban they received earlier this season. The NCAA gave the Yellow Jackets four years probation due to impermissible benefits violations involving former assistant coach Darryl LaBarrie. Georgia Tech appealed the ban, but withdrew the appeal last week. The program will be eligible for postseason play following the 2020-2021 season.
The ACC is proceeding with its tournament despite fears around the coronavirus.
“We’re in touch with county health officials, and the ACC is as well,” Andrew Brown, the Coliseum public relations director, told Greensboro.com. “Everything is on schedule as of now.”
