The ACC Men's Basketball Tournament (popularly known as the ACC Tournament) is the conference championship tournament in basketball for the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC). The tournament has been held every year since 1954, the ACC's first season. It is a single-elimination tournament and seeding is based on regular season records. The winner, declared conference champion, receives the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA men's basketball tournament.

Footnotes

  • a The 1972-73 NC State Wolfpack team was forced to skip postseason play due to an NCAA recruiting infraction. Assistant coach Eddie Biedenbach had played in a pick-up (impromptu) basketball game with David Thompson on a recruiting visit to Raleigh, North Carolina. The Wolfpack finished the season undefeated at 27-0 but forfeited the opportunity to compete for the national championship.
  • b The University of Maryland, College Park, left the Atlantic Coast Conference in 2014 and is now a member of the Big Ten Conference.
  • c The University of South Carolina left the Atlantic Coast Conference in 1971, and it is now a member of the Southeastern Conference.
  • d Since the tournament began, through the 2017 tournament, the lowest seeded team to win the championship is the sixth seed. This has happened five times: Virginia in 1976, Duke in 1980, NC State in 1987, Georgia Tech in 1993, and Maryland in 2004. Before 2005, when the league had 8 or 9 members, the lowest seeded team to reach the finals was the NC State team in 1997 which was the 8th seed. Following the expansion to 12 teams for the 2005 tournament, the lowest seeded team to reach the finals was the 2007 NC State squad as a 10th seed.
