March is finally here, and after months of action and another grueling ACC Basketball regular season in the books, it’s officially the greatest time of the year.

For the ACC, that means the chance at another national championship and this year the conference has three No. 1 seeds in Duke, Virginia and North Carolina. Overall, the conference placed seven teams in the big dance as Florida State, Virginia Tech, Louisville and Syracuse will also represent the ACC.

Virginia, who shared the regular-season title with North Carolina, is the No. 2 overall seed while UNC is the No. 3 overall seed. Gonzaga is the final No. 1 seed.
