NEW YORK -- Through the first 10 games of the 69th ACC tournament, the one essential truth of this event had been proven yet again. No matter where you play it, in Brooklyn or Charlotte or wherever, and whether the league has three No. 1 seeds or is as down as it was this year, the basketball always rises above.
Almost always.
Three of Wednesday’s games went down to the final possession, two in overtime. Thursday started with Duke playing with fire against Syracuse, Miami’s breakaway buzzer-beater to beat Boston College in OT and Virginia Tech holding off Notre Dame, all entertaining in their own way.
