ACC Tournament 2022 Preview
Less than a week after Mike Krzyzewski’s celebration of his career at Duke, his seventh-ranked Blue Devils squad and the 14 other ACC teams vie for the conference crown at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
Krzyzewski led Duke to 15 ACC tournament titles in his career, and the Blue Devils could make it 16 in his final go-around. Duke (26-5), this year’s top seed, last won the title in 2017. Another ACC crown could help Duke nab a No. 1 seed for the NCAA tournament.
Almost all of the ACC field needs to win the tournament or have an excellent showing to have a shot at the Big Dance per ESPN’s John Gasaway. Notre Dame (22-9) drew the No. 2 seed, and No. 25 North Carolina (23-8) Miami (22-9) drew the No. 3 and No. 4 seeds respectively. The top four seeds will await their opponents after the first and second rounds on Tuesday and Wednesday.
ACC tournament play tips off with No. 12 Pitt (11-20) taking on No. 13 Boston College (11-19) on Tuesday at 2 p.m. The former Big East Conference rivals split their regular season matchups including a 69-67 contest won by Pitt on Jan. 8. Boston College senior guard Makai Ashton-Langford leads the Eagles in scoring with 12.1 points per game. Pitt sophomore forward John Hugley leads the Panthers with 14.7 points and 7.9 rebounds per contest.
No. 10 Clemson (16-15) and No. 15 N.C. State (11-20) will clash at 4:30 p.m. Clemson won the lone regular season matchup against the Wolfpack 70-65 on Jan. 8. Wolfpack sophomore guard Dereon Seaborn leads the team offensively with 17.3 points and eight rebounds per game. Tigers sophomore guard P.J. Hall leads his team with 15.4 points and 5.7 rebounds per night.
No. 11 Louisville (12-18) and No. 14 Georgia Tech (12-19) cap the opening day at 7 p.m. Louisville won the lone regular season matchup 67-64 on Jan. 2 when Yellow Jackets junior guard Kyle Sturdivant missed a three-point shot at the end. The matchup features senior guards who lead their teams in scoring with Georgia Tech’s Michael Devo, 18 points per game, and Louisville’s Noah Locke at 9.5 points per night.
No. 8 Florida State (17-13) and No. 9 Syracuse (15-16) tip off the second day of tournament action on Wednesday. The Seminoles and Orange split their regular season matchups in two close games. Orange senior guard Buddy Boeheim leads his team in scoring with 19.3 points per game. FSU sophomore guard Caleb Mills leads his squad with 13 points per night.
No. 5 Wake Forest (23-8), No. 6 Virginia (18-12), and No. 7 Virginia Tech (19-12) will face Tuesday’s winners in the later games on Wednesday. Gasaway listed Wake Forest as a team that “should get in” for the NCAA tournament. Wake Forest notably features ACC Player of the Year Alondes Williams, who averages 19.3 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 5.3 assists per game. Virginia, the 2019 champion, and Virginia Tech will likely need the automatic bid.
