UNC @ UVA (Sat 2/27, 6:30p)
This is one to watch. Two teams in the running for a #1 seed in March with two polar opposite styles of play. While UVA plays the slowest ball in the country, UNC is heralded for its fast pace and effort in transition. 2 of UNC's 3 ACC losses have come on the road, and the only team to beat UVA on its home court in the past 2 years went on to win the national title last year. (It's worth noting though that UNC could fit that bill.) The way to beat UVA when they're on form is to light shots up from the outside, but UNC has struggled to hit 3's, averaging 28.3% in ACC play. This game could absolutely come down to the last posession, and with Roy Williams' timeout history, that could work out in UVA's favor :) I'd give this one narrowly to UVA.
Louisville @ Miami (Sat 2/27, 2p)
This game comes in a close second in the must-watch category. Lousville plays the most stifling defense in the country, but Miami has recovered from a tumble against UNC and just took down UVA at home, where it is undefeated in ACC play. Assuming UNC loses their game against UVA on Saturday night, the winner of this game would become the league's new #1. I'd say Miami takes this one.
Miami @ Notre Dame (Wed 3/2)
UNC @ Duke (Sat 3/5)
Louisville @ UVA (Sat 3/5)
It's possible that we could have a 5-way tie for the title.
