It's never too early, eh?The ACC's strength could prompt controversy come March. Several league coaches, including Maryland's Gary Williams, said the ACC could deserve seven berths in the 65-team NCAA tournament, a stance multiple coaches from mid-major conferences took exception to last week.
"The Big Ten in the past has gotten seven," Williams said. "They always said, 'Well, we have more teams.' We have more teams now [with the addition of Miami and Virginia Tech] so if we have seven that deserve to go, that should happen. Supposedly the best teams go."
