It might not be time for the big dance yet, but the ACC tournament will bring all the drama in preparation for March Madness. Luckily for fans, there's plenty of ways to tune into the action — including the radio.
Coming to Charlotte for a week of intense matchups, no one can predict what might happen in this year's ACC tournament. While there will be several powerhouse programs looking to secure a top seed in the NCAA tournament, Cinderella stories shouldn't be counted out.
The ACC is expected to get at least seven March Madness bids, with Duke, Virginia, Louisville, North Carolina, Miami, Clemson and NC State all looking strong. On the bubble, SMU, Virginia Tech, Cal and Stanford would have to make an impressive run to clinch an at-large bid.
Is Duke's crowning inevitable in Charlotte?
Here's how to listen to the ACC tournament on the radio, including schedule and station for each college matchup this week.
