The ACC men’s basketball tournament starts Tuesday in Greensboro, N.C., with the Yellow Jackets — riding a six-game win streak against conference foes — among the favorites to sweep through to the championship.
Georgia Tech (15-8, 11-6 in ACC) earned the fourth seed and a double bye. The team won’t play until Thursday afternoon when it faces the winner of Wednesday’s game between Clemson, the fifth seed, and the winner of the No. 12-No. 13 game between Pittsburgh and Miami, respectively.
The last time Tech was as high as the No. 4 seed was in 2004, when the Jackets finished the season in the national championship game.
