Where to find the ACC Basketball Tournament Games on the Radio???
The days of the old heritage/landmark radio stations are just about gone, with WPTF in Raleigh, WBT in Charlotte, WSJS in Winston-Salem, and WBIG in Greensboro, changing quite a bit over the past 25-30 years…
These days you might be better served to go over to sites like GoPack.com, GoHeels.com, VirginiaTechSports.com, and other sites to get your men’s and women’s college basketball fix…That is how I found the ACC Women’s games last week…N.C. State has their site, North Carolina has their site, Duke has their site, and Wake Forest has their site, and these days, that might be your best fit….
Still some heartbeat radio stations out there bringing you the games like they have been doing for the past half century….
