ACC Basketball Tournament
College basketball is tipping off and it’s not too early to start thinking about March Madness. If you can’t make it to the Final Four (ranked 20th in the 100 Sporting Events You Must See Live) an alternative would be the ACC Championship (ranked 60th). The Georgia Dome will host the “Grandaddy of College Hoops Tourneys” this year starting on March 12th.
Whether you’re a fan of the baby blue, Terrapins, orange and purple, Blue Devils, or just a fan of college and ACC basketball in general, this is the tourney to go see. The ACC proves to be one of the strongest NCAA basketball divisions as they are consistently well represented in the NCAA tournament year after year. You’ll also find a handful of these teams in the top 25 throughout the year. To begin the 2009-2010 season, the ACC has five members in the AP top 25 including #6 North Carolina, #9 Duke, #21 Georgia Tech, #22 Clemson, and #25 Maryland.
No matter who wins the ACC Tournament fans won’t be disappointed. Future NBA players will be on display over the ACC Tournament weekend and if it comes down to the usual suspects of Duke and North Carolina, future NBA All-Stars will be on display. If there’s one NCAA basketball conference tournament to see, it’s the ACC Tourney. That’s why it’s ranked #60 in the 100 Sporting Events You Must See live.

Fantastic review of a truely awesome tournament. My second favorite of the bunch. Ever been to the Big East Tournament in New York? Nothing beats it. Some of the best basketball in the country: louisville, uconn, syracuse, pittsburgh, villanova, marquette, notre dame... (the list goes on) all playing in the mecca of basketball: Madison Square Garden. The tournament is the longest with a 16 team conference and usually amazes us with a few upsets or amazing overtime games (see Syracuse-UConn last year). The best part is, when the games are over, you are in New York City with so much to do you'll never be bored. Anyway, I'd love to hear what you think comparing the two amazing tourneys
