2. North Carolina Tar Heels

The story of the ACC right now is that North Carolina is without its best player and future NBA lottery pick, Caleb Wilson. The 5-star freshman will miss the remainder of the season after he broke his right thumb in practice earlier this week.

However, anything can happen in March, and while UNC is far better with Wilson than without, North Carolina will look to go on an emotional run. North Carolina is 4-1 in the Tar Heels' five games without Wilson, and while UNC’s path isn’t easy, the Tar Heels still have a chance to win the ACC Title.

The biggest threat in the ACC is Duke, and with UNC the No. 4 seed, they would most likely have to run through Duke in the semifinals. Right now, Team Rankings gives UNC the fourth-best chance to win the ACC Tournament at 4.87 percent.
