Pitt Opens ACC Basketball Tournament

NEW YORK (AP) – The Atlantic Coast Conference returns to Brooklyn to hold its men’s basketball tournament this week. The league, usually a powerhouse on the court, has only two ranked teams heading into its five-day championship event. No. 7 Duke is the top seed. The Blue Devils will try to deliver retiring coach Mike Krzyzewski his ACC record 16th conference championship in what will be his final ACC tournament. The other top teams in the ACC head to Barclays Center looking to make sure their NCAA Tournament resumes are good enough to just get into the field. Pitt will take on Boston College in the first game to tip off the tournament.
