Indianapolis has hosted the Final Four seven times in the past and Kentucky has been in attendance one time … and lost.
The ACC has six teams in the field this year with an average seed of a little over 3.5. Yes, one conference with basically six 4-seeds.
The ACC has teams distributed in all four regions of the bracket.

Grab your popcorn and settle in for a day of fantastic hoops.
