The Atlantic Coast Conference expanded to 18 teams with the additions of Cal, Stanford, and SMU in the summer of 2024, but the league did not make any changes to its traditional 15-team bracket for the ACC Tournament. That means that three teams will not qualify for the ACC Tournament. This year, those three teams that failed to qualify for the ACC Tournament are NC State (12-19, 5-15 ACC), Boston College (12-19, 4-16 ACC), and Miami (7-24, 3-17 ACC).

Tiebreaker Explanations:

  • Louisville owns the head-to-head tiebreaker over Clemson for the No. 2 seed.
  • Wake Forest gets the No. 4 seed due to having the best winning percentage (2-0) against the group of North Carolina and SMU. UNC gets the No. 5 seed, going 1-1 against the group, and SMU gets the No. 6 seed due to going 0-2 against the other two teams.
  • There is a five-way tie between Virginia, Virginia Tech, Florida State, Notre Dame, and Pittsburgh at 8-12 in ACC play. Virginia and Virginia Tech have the best winning percentage against the group at 3-2 and those two teams also split their regular season series against each other, so the tie is broken by UVA having the better win against teams at the top of the ACC standings (Wake Forest). So, Virginia gets the No. 9 seed and Virginia Tech gets the No. 10 seed. Florida State and Notre Dame were both 2-2 against the group and the Seminoles have the head-to-head tiebreaker over the Fighting Irish, so Florida State gets the No. 11 seed and Notre Dame gets the No. 12 seed. Pittsburgh had the worst record against the group at 1-3, so the Panthers get the No. 13 seed.
