Georgia Tech will automatically advance to the ACC Championship game as Friday's semifinals meeting between the Yellow Jackets and Cavaliers will go uncontested.
Virginia is the second ACC team in as many days forced to withdraw from the ACC tournament due to COVID-19 issues and contact tracing, after Duke left on Thursday morning.
Unlike Duke, which said Thursday it's season was over, Virginia could still take part in this month's NCAA Men's College Basketball Tournament and is currently projected to be a number 4 seed.
In order to play in the NCAA tournament, a team needs to show seven consecutive negative daily tests before arriving in Indianapolis, and then undergo daily testing while inside the controlled environment in Indianapolis.
Dan Gavitt, NCAA senior vice president of men's basketball, has also said that a team just needs five healthy players to play in their NCAA tournament game. If Virginia doesn't have a widespread COVID outbreak and the rest of the team continues to test negative, the Cavaliers should be eligible to play in the NCAA tournament.
