Here are excerpts from my ACC preview in today's Score Atlanta:
Tournament Locks
North Carolina- After holding Duke scoreless for the last five minutes of their game last Saturday, UNC is the favorite to cut down the nets in Charlotte. UNC have a distinct talent advantage over the league. They also have arguably the nation’s best player in Tyler Hansbrough.

Needs Work
Virginia Tech- They have come on as of late but a last-second loss to Clemson is a killer because it came against a bubble foe. Their first round bye sets them up for a potentially critical game against Miami. If they can get scoring from A.D. Vassallo they have a shot.

NIT-Bound
Georgia Tech- Jimmy Dykes has dubbed them “the team no one wants to play in the tournament”, for what that’s worth. Tech is dangerous because they have nothing to lose. Matt Causey’s shooting could be the difference.
Better Luck Next Time
N.C. State- A bunch of close losses, including Duke a few weeks back, tell their story. Another ACC tournament run for Sidney Lowe’s team would be a miracle.
