The ACC dominated the Big Ten/ACC Challenge this year, winning a record 11 games. Michigan State and Purdue picked up quality wins, but the ACC proved to be a very good conference from top to bottom. At the moment we have eight ACC teams in the NCAA Tournament. Of course they will have to beat up on each other once conference play rolls around, but the conference can certainly get eight or nine teams in the tournament due to their strong overall performance so far in non-conference play.
