The Hurricanes can reach the 2012 tournament by winning the ACC Tournament. In order to do so, they would need to beat Georgia Tech, FSU, Duke/Clemson/or Virginia Tech, and UNC/UVA/Maryland/Wake Forest/NC State/or Boston College. If they do not win the ACC Tournament, they might be able to make it into the tournament as an at-large selection if they win 3 games in the ACC Tournament. They may still be able to make it with 1 or 2 wins but it is not nearly as likely with 3 or 4 wins (win tournament).
