The race for 4th place in the ACC basketball standings is intensifying with Syracuse currently holding the position after winning four consecutive games. Clemson faces crucial upcoming matches against Syracuse and Wake Forest to secure a top-four finish and a double bye in the conference tournament. Other contenders like Pitt and Wake Forest could also impact the final standings based on their performances.

Will depend on how the teams behind them in the standings finish Duke benefits if Clemson or Syracuse (teams that beat UNC) are, say, T-3rd or sole fourth. North Carolina benefits if Pitt or Wake (teams that beat Duke) end up at the top of that 4-to-7 group. https://t.co/bVyH39bI0U
Syracuse has won four straight games and, for now, is in 4th place in the ACC. A double-bye in the ACC Tournament is now in play as well. https://t.co/fxabHgCKDI
Basically, if the Tigers close the season with wins over Syracuse and Wake Forest, they finish within the top four of the ACC and get a double bye in the conference tourney. If they don't, it's a slippery slope. Two very important games coming up. https://t.co/nJJUHTgTg0
Sorting out 4th place in the ACC is becoming a lot murkier. WF - loses at VT, 10-8 in ACC Clemson - losing at ND, 10-7 and in danger Pitt - won at BC, 10-8 Syracuse - winning (not comfortably at Louisville), 10-8 Syracuse plays at Clemson on Tuesday; Clemson-WF on Sat.
