Duke and North Carolina are in the tournament, but who will join them?

Can anyone else join them with a deep run in this week’s ACC tournament?
UNC enters the tournament as the top-seeded team, and the Tar Heels are coming off a spirited win in the annual regular-season finale against Duke at Cameron Indoor Stadium. A testy moment in the first half, when Duke big man Kyle Filipowski appeared to trip UNC forward Harrison Ingram, set the tone for the entire contest. The Tar Heels emerged victorious, locking up the regular-season title. A loss to the Blue Devils would have seen UNC and Duke split the regular-season title.
Outside of Duke and UNC, there are a handful of teams looking to punch their tickets to the big dance. Clemson probably has the third-best resume in the conference, as the Tigers have been in-and-out of the Top 25 this season, and currently sit at No. 24 in Ken Pomeroy’s rankings and at No. 26 in the NET rankings.
But some other teams could boost their resume with a deep run in Washington D.C. this week. Other teams to watch in the ACC include Wake Forest (38 in NET, 26 in KenPom), Pittsburgh (44 in NET, 46 in KenPom), Virginia (51 in NET, 66 in KenPom), and Virginia Tech (56 in NET, 53 in KenPom).
It all gets underway Tuesday at the Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C. and SB Nation will have you covered every step of the way.
