[QUOTE="FredJacket, post: 876710, member: 2843"] In 2016, UNC finished the season #19 in RPI with an ACC record of 13-17. They did not make the NCAAT. That was the last year only 10 ACC teams made the ACCT. UNC did not make the ACCT (finished 11th in the conference). The ACC reacted quickly by changing format of the ACCT (adding 2 teams and going to 4 pools of 3 teams). The thought was the ACC can/will have bubble teams as far down as 11th or 12th in the conference standings and those teams need an opportunity to improve their resumes at the ACCT. Many people will and do complain about the ACCT tournament format; but in this context it makes sense. The 12 participating teams get to play 2 additional games (minimum) against quality conference competition. The downside (with the format)... and if you're looking at the ACCT in isolation, of the 12 pool-play games held Tues-Fri of the tournament, 4 of those games will be guaranteed to have no bearing on who advances to semi-finals on Saturday. The upside... if you're looking big picture, those 4 games will likely involve teams who may need that win to boost resume (off bubble, higher seed, host, etc). [/QUOTE]
