2022 ACC tournament bracket is set. Full schedule, TV info and printable bracket
The brackets are set for the ACC tournament in Brooklyn beginning on Tuesday, with every team chasing Duke.
The No. 1 seed Blue Devils are looking more vulnerable than they did a day ago. North Carolina’s upset of the Duke at Cameron Indoor Stadium snapped the Blue Devils’ seven-game winning streak. The Tar Heels now have the longest winning streak in the conference as winners of five straight heading into the postseason.
Duke, Notre Dame, North Carolina and Miami earned double byes to the quarterfinal round on Thursday thanks to finishing in the top four of the league.
Duke has the only quarterfinal opponents that are already known. It will face the winner of No. 8 Florida State and No. 9 Syracuse. The Seminoles beat Duke 79-78 in overtime on Jan. 18 in Tallahassee.
The Heels avoided having to potentially face the Blue Devils in the semifinals. Had they lost at Duke, they would have finished tied with Miami for third place, but the Hurricanes owned the tiebreaker and UNC would have been the four seed.
The conference tournament may provide the critical difference for teams earning their way into the NCAA Tournament or potentially losing their way out in what has been a down year for the ACC.
Virginia Tech, Miami and Wake Forest probably need to win at least a game in order to feel comfortable a week from now on Selection Sunday. Carolina too, although its win at Duke may have been the win to permanently lift it off the tournament bubble.
