GREENSBORO, N.C. -- Greetings from Greensboro, where the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament gets underway in a matter of hours. Here's some morning reading.

Dave Fairbank of the Newport News Daily Press examines the five questions leading in the the league's tournament. Perhaps the most intriguing storyline centers on Georgia Tech, which might need a win to get bumped into the NCAA tournament.
