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.
