The 2012 ACC Basketball Tournament arrives in Atlanta next week.

The ACC Basketball Tournament is set for the great state of Georgia, beginning on March 8 at Philips Arena. Bracketing isn't assigned yet, but we do have a schedule. The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets will have quite literal home court advantage, as they've played many a game at the Uncle Phil due to renovations on their campus arena, but they'll still play against a team that's thus far proved to be far better.

The Jackets are dead last right now, which puts them in line to play the N.C. State Wolfpack, Virginia Cavaliers, Miami Hurricanes, or Clemson Tigers, all of whom sit at 8-7 in league play.
