With the ACC Tournament approaching, conference seeding is starting to take form. Once again, the ACC has four Top 25 teams; however, in the tournament, every team is a legitimate threat to win. Here are how the best teams have performed over the past week and why they can win the tournament.
The hottest team in the ACC currently, the Hokies are coming off huge victories against North Carolina teams. Last week, they dominated the Duke Blue Devils from the opening tip. Last month, they lost to Duke by 11 points and Elizabeth Kitley was held only four points.
The February rematch was a completely different story. Virginia Tech jumped out to a 23-11 lead and Kitley had 10 points in the first quarter, almost outsourcing the entire Blue Devil team by herself.
Kitley scored 20-plus points in all three games last week including a game-winning buzzer-beater against the North Carolina Tar Heels on Thursday. With the Hokies currently riding a seven-game winning streak, they are the hottest team in the ACC, and their star player is having the best stretch of her season. The timing is perfect for the Hokies to make an ACC Tournament run.
