The ACC Tournament: You Don't Know [Blank]

The regular season is done. Duke and "Refuse to Lose" Henderson fell to Carolina, albeit not in the customary final ACC game of the year slot. This year, that was reserved for Wake reminding everyone that Clemson is a first half team. When Gary Williams complained about the Duke/UNC game always being the final contest, most fans of the schools were irked at his gall, but watching yesterday the game has lost none of its luster. The brackets are out, so it's time to see just how much everyone knows about the ACC Tournament. No twittering Jay Williams for answers, there are no South Carolina trick questions, and feel free to post your scores for tremendous prizes. The test begins after the break...

The 1990 championship game between Georgia Tech and Virginia was significant because it featured [NO CHEATING YOU FILTHY ANIMALS].

[BOOOOOO] is the only school that doesn't have a losing record to any other school in tourney history.

Wake Forest has won four ACC tournaments both times doing it in back-to-back seasons, first in '61 and '62 and also [XX] and [XX].

Only eight tournament MVPs (and one co-MVP from South Carolina) have come from outside the state of North Carolina. Four from Maryland: Nick Davis ('58), [Stop Looking] ('84), Albert King ('90), and [No Cheating] ('04). Three from Georgia Tech: [XXX XXXX] ('85), Brian Oliver ('90), and James Forrest ('93). And Virginia's [Who What?] ('76).

And finally, [XXXXX] is the only team to win in the opening round the last three years.
