ACC Tournament 2018: Schedule, Start Times, Live Stream and TV Info

March is here, and the madness has already begun.

We've already seen some buzzer-beaters and memorable finishes across the country as the regular season came to a close, but now that conference tournaments are here, it's time for the real chaos to begin.

Before you're able to print out your bracket and try to figure out how to make it perfect (just give up now), there are some conference titles on the line, including one of the most competitive conferences in college basketball in the ACC.

Forget about the likes of Duke and North Carolina. This year's ACC tournament favorite is Virginia.

The top-seeded Cavaliers are the odds-on favorite to sweep through the conference at +250 favorites, according to OddsShark. To put that in perspective, the likes of UNC (+600), Duke (+800) and Miami (+1000) are miles behind Virginia—if you listen to the bookmakers, that is. 

While Duke may pose a threat to Virginia in the ACC tournament, don't sleep on the defending-NCAA champion Tarheels along with North Carolina State. 

The Tar Heels are coming off an embarrassing 74-64 loss on the road after losing grip of their lead in the second half, but they've shown enough this season to make sure that they'll have a fighting chance in any game they play this season. As for North Carolina State, it already has a victory over UNC, as well as Duke. 

If it comes to a showdown between Virginia and North Carolina State, North Carolina State could give the Cavaliers a run for their money and avenge its early-season loss to Virginia, 68-51.
