The ACC is set to become the first major conference to begin its postseason tournament, setting in motion what could be one of the most compelling storylines ahead of the 2021 NCAA tournament.
While teams such as Florida State, Virginia and Virginia Tech have already secured their candidacy to make March Madness, traditional blue bloods such as Syracuse, North Carolina and Duke need strong tournaments to secure their candidacy for the NCAA tournament. In the case of the Blue Devils, it is possible that nothing less than a tournament championship will guarantee them their candidacy.
Welcome to life in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, where the bluest of college basketball may not even make the tournament.

Chances of winning the ACC tournament
Florida State enters with best odds to win ACC 2021 tournament at +250. Virginia is in second position +350 odds, followed by Louisville, North Carolina and Virginia Tech, all at +500 chances.
Despite their poor seasons, the traditional blue bloods of North Carolina (+500) and duke (+1400) have the third and sixth best odds to win the 2021 ACC tournament – a nod to the talent present in both teams. Still, it’s likely that both teams would need some deep runs – in the case of the Blue Devils, maybe even a tournament title – to secure an NCAA tournament bid. If they can’t get invites, it would be the first time since 1974 that no team has been a tournament team. So, no pressure.
