2020 ACC Tournament Predictions

Here are my predictions for the 2020 ACC Tournament. The tournament will be held at the Greensboro Coliseum in Greensboro, North Carolina.

First Round
3/10- (13) Pittsburgh (15-16; 6-14) vs (12) Wake Forest (13-16; 6-14)- 4:30, ACCN: Neither of these teams were good this season, but each of them have had moments this season. The Panthers I feel are the slightly better team as this could be the final game for Danny Manning as Demon Decons coach.
Prediction: Pittsburgh

3/10- (14) North Carolina (13-18; 6-14) vs (11) Virginia Tech (16-15; 7-13)- 7:00, ACCN: The Tar Heels have been the most disappointing team perhaps in the country this season and with Cole Anthony back and healthy, have a chance to win this game. The Hokies had moments this year in Mike Young's first season and I think Landers Nolley III leads them to a close win over a team that's lost so many close games all season long.
Prediction: Virginia Tech

Second Round
3/11- (9) Miami (15-15; 7-13) vs (8) Clemson (15-15; 9-11)- 12:00, ESPN
Prediction: Clemson

3/11- (13) Pittsburgh vs (5) NC State (19-12; 10-10)- 2:30, ESPN
Prediction: NC State

3/11- (10) Boston College (13-18; 7-13) vs (7) Notre Dame (19-12; 10-10)- 7:00, ESPN2: Both teams had moments throughout the season, but I think the Irish pull this out as Jim Christian could be out of a job after this game.
Prediction: Notre Dame

3/11- (11) Virginia Tech vs (6) Syracuse (17-14; 10-10)- 9:30, ESPN2
Prediction: Syracuse

Quarterfinals
3/12- (8) Clemson vs (1) Florida State (26-5; 16-4)- 12:00, ESPN/2
Prediction: Florida State

3/12- (5) NC State vs (2) Duke (25-6; 15-5)- 2:30, ESPN/2: The Wolfpack beat the Blue Devils once this season and I don't see the Blue Devils losing to them twice in the same season.
Prediction: Duke

3/12- (7) Notre Dame vs (2) Virginia- 7:00, ESPN/2
Prediction: Virginia

3/12- (6) Syracuse vs (3) Louisville- 9:30, ESPN/2
Prediction: Louisville

Semifinals
3/13- (4) Duke vs (1) Florida State- 7:00, ESPN/2: This is the de-facto conference title game since I strongly feel the winner of this game will win the auto-bid. The Seminoles are for real and I think it will show with a big time victory over the Blue Devils.
Prediction: Florida State

3/13- (3) Louisville vs (2) Virginia- 9:30, ESPN/2: This is a rematch of a game from this last weekend which was low scoring and competitive. I see a similar type of game and for Jordan Nwora being the best player on the court here and for the Cardinals to advance.
Prediction: Louisville

Championship
3/14- (3) Louisville vs (1) Florida State- 8:30, ESPN: This should be an excellent game between these conference foes. The Seminoles have an outside shot at a one-seed in the Big Dance depending on how other top teams do as well as their own success. With a balanced scoring attack led by Trent Forest and Devin Vassell, I believe they'll win this conference tournament as the Cardinals will end up with a top 4 seed in the NCAA tournament.
Prediction: Florida State
