After a whirlwind of upsets on Tuesday, including heartbreak for Stanford and Virginia Tech, the ACC Tournament is in full swing at the Spectrum Center. It's the 73rd edition, and the action is heating up.
Today’s first game holds significant weight for the Virginia Cavaliers. They'll face off against the winner of the NC State versus Pittsburgh matchup in Thursday's quarterfinals.
Pittsburgh kicked off their tournament run with a nail-biting 64-63 victory over Stanford. The game was a rollercoaster, featuring 11 lead changes, but Pittsburgh's well-rounded offense ultimately outpaced Stanford, despite the efforts of the Cardinal’s standout point guard, Ebuka Okorie.
On the other side, NC State is looking to break a troubling four-game losing streak. Their struggles began with a tough 29-point loss to Virginia back in February, and they haven't seen a win in over three weeks. With their NCAA Tournament hopes hanging in the balance, a loss to Pittsburgh could leave NC State anxiously awaiting their fate on Selection Sunday.
