The tournament itself opens up Thursday afternoon with the No. 9 seed Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets taking on the eighth seeded Boston College Eagles. These two teams just recently met, with the Eagles stealing a 74-72 victory on the road against the Yellow Jackets on March 9.
Next up, the No. 5 seed NC State Wolfpack will face the Virginia Tech Hokies, a team that finished with an ACC-worst 4-14 mark in league play.

The evening session will tip off at 7 p.m. ET with the No. 7 seed Maryland Terrapins squaring off with No. 10 Wake Forest. At 20-11 overall and 8-10 in ACC play, the Terrapins desperately need a win here to help their at-large tournament chances.
The first day of the ACC Tournament will conclude when Leonard Hamilton's sixth-seeded Florida State Seminoles take on the No. 11 seed Clemson Tigers. Florida State swept the season series between these two clubs, winning 71-66 on Jan. 5 at Clemson, and following that up with a 60-57 victory in Tallahassee on Jan. 24.
