It’s basically an extension of Tuesday, which had a high-profile game between two teams assured of being in the field. In addition, it saw automatic bids doled out to College of Charleston , Northern Kentucky and Oral Roberts .

In short, there isn’t much to gain and plenty to lose for Pitt, N.C. State and especially North Carolina on the second day of the ACC tournament.None for the tournament contenders if they win.

For the sake of thoroughness, the Lobos are included in this exercise. In reality, their serious hopes of an at-large evaporated after an 18-2 start was followed by eight losses in 11 games. Low tide was arguably a Feb. 14 loss to last-place Wyoming at The Pit, and the Cowboys could put the finishing touches on New Mexico’s collapse on the first day of the Mountain West tournament.
