Who is favored to win the ACC men’s basketball tournament?

Unsurprisingly, Duke is the heavy favorite (-350) to win the ACC tournament before the first games tip off, having lost just twice this season and only once to a conference foe. While it might feel like that is a steep number, it’s worth noting that the Blue Devils beat their two biggest threats to contend in the tournament—Virginia (+650) and Louisville (+950)—by 26 points and 31 points respectively when they met in the regular season.
