Both Wake Forest and Miami were one-and-done in last season's ACC tournament and the two teams struggled down the stretch entering this year's event.

Notre Dame and Georgia Tech face each other for the third time this season Tuesday afternoon in the opening round of the 2019 ACC tournament from Charlotte, N.C. The two teams have split a pair of games so far in 2019, with the 15th-seeded Fighting Irish winning at home Feb. 10 and the 10th-seeded Yellow Jackets earning the win in Atlanta on Jan. 22.

Boston College made some noise in the ACC tournament last season before bowing out and hopes to have another long run this time around, beginning with a first-round matchup against No. 14 seed Pittsburgh on Tuesday in Charlotte, N.C. The 11th-seeded Eagles, who lost their last three games of the regular season, won a pair of contests in last season's tourney as a No. 12 seed before a loss to Clemson in the quarterfinals.

Top-ranked Gonzaga looks to win its seventh consecutive West Coast Conference tournament championship when it faces second-seeded Saint Mary's in Tuesday's title game at Las Vegas.
