DATELINE: LENGTH: Short
UVa and Pitt will meet at 7 p.m., followed by Boston College and Maryland at 9. Maryland is not allowed on live television as terms of NCAA probation; however, Big East Commissioner Dave Gavitt said ESPN was considering some sort of tape-delay arrangement.
The second night of the challenge will take place at the Carrier Dome in Syracuse, where Seton Hall will meet Clemson at 7, followed by Syracuse and North Carolina State at 9.
The Capital Centre in Landover, Md., will be the site of games Dec. 5 involving St. John's and Georgia Tech at 7, followed by Duke and Georgetown at 9.
Wake Forest and Villanova will meet Dec. 6 at the Smith Center in Chapel Hill, N.C., and North Carolina and Connecticut will follow at 9.
No games were held at campus sites in 1989, but small crowds prompted the move to the Carrier Dome and Smith Center.
North Carolina was the choice for first place in a vote of the ACC coaches May 29 in Greensboro, N.C. Duke was seeded second, followed by Georgia Tech, North Carolina State and UVa in a third-place tie. Clemson was sixth, Wake Forest seventh and Maryland last.
Connecticut was rated first by the Big East coaches, followed by Georgetown, a third-place tie between Pittsburgh and Syracuse, St. John's, Villanova, Seton Hall, Providence and Boston College.
Tournament rules prohibit a team from being left out two years in a row; therefore, Providence was bumped from the field to accommodate Boston College.
