CHARLOTTE (WFNZ) -- Following a regular season with some of the best basketball in all of Division I, the 66th annual ACC Tournament is set to take place in Charlotte, N.C., at the Spectrum Center for the first time in 11 years.
The top three teams in the ACC each have a chance to be No. 1 seeds in the NCAA Tournament.
The Virginia Cavaliers and North Carolina Tar Heels, the regular-season co-champions, and the Duke Blue Devils are the top three seeds in the conference tournament.
The Cavaliers are the reigning ACC tournament champs and the tournament's top seed for the fourth time in six years.
Either UNC or Duke has been in the tournament's championship game every year since 1996.
The tournament starts Tuesday with three first-round games and runs through Saturday with the championship game set to take place at 8:30 p.m.
Kyle Bailey, the host of "The Clubhouse" on WFNZ from 2-6 p.m, and former UNC Charlotte head coach and NC State assistant Bobby Lutz give their top three things to look for this week:
3. Virginia. A year after their historic upset loss to 16-seed UMBC in the NCAA Tournament, can the Cavaliers bounce back?
2. North Carolina. Can UNC continue their balanced attack to win the tournament?
1. Zion Williamson. How will Duke's freshman sensation perform after missing nearly a month due to a knee injury?
