The ACC men’s basketball tournament begins Tuesday at the Spectrum Center in Charlotte.

Duke cliched the No. 1 seed in the 15-team event with its victory against North Carolina on Saturday night.

NC State, Boston College and Miami failed to qualify for the tournament. It’s the first time the league has not invited all members to the tournament. The Wolfpack won the 2024 ACC Tournament title, winning five games in five days.
