women's update

Virginia (16-13, 5-9 ACC) beat Clemson 86-85 in S.C. today (Sunday) to earn the No. 8 seed in the ACC tournament. The Cavs will face Clemson (12-17, 4-10) again in the ACC tournament on Thursday at 3 p.m. in the 8-9 game, unless Boston College comes back to beat Maryland this afternoon.

Virginia Tech (17-13, 6-8 ACC) finished the regular season in seventh place in the ACC, meaning the Hokies will play the No. 10 seed, likely BC if the Eagles don't come back against the Terps, in the ACC tournament at 6 p.m. on Thursday in Greensboro.

Duke has already secured the top seed, no matter what happens in its rematch with North Carolina today (4 p.m.). Carolina is already No. 2.

Wake Forest has a lock on No. 12 and Miami is securely No. 11.

N.C. State has clinched a first-round bye, but it is not yet sure whether its No. 3 or 4. The rest of the seedings will be settled today, with defending-national champion Maryland facing the possibility of finishing outside the top four (who all receive byes).
