Championship Week in men's college basketball is here, and the 2026 ACC Tournament bracket is officially set.
Coach Brad Brownell's Clemson Tigers (22-9 overall, 12-6 ACC) closed the regular season with a 79-76 come-from-behind victory over the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets on Saturday at Littlejohn Coliseum.
Butta Johnson and Nick Davidson finished with 15 points apiece, and Carter Welling had 13 as Clemson had to erase a 10-point deficit against the ACC's last-place team.
The Tigers finished the regular season tied with North Carolina for the ACC's fourth-best conference record, but the Tar Heels' 67-63 victory over Clemson last Tuesday in Chapel Hill gave UNC a top-four seed in the conference tournament and a coveted double bye.
The Duke Blue Devils (29-2, 17-1) will be the top seed in the ACC Tournament, which begins Tuesday, March 10 at Spectrum Center in Charlotte and concludes with Saturday's ACC championship game at 8:30 p.m. ET on ESPN.
Clemson will be the No. 5 seed in the ACC Tournament and will face the winner of Tuesday's game between No. 12 seed Virginia Tech (19-12, 8-10) and No. 13 seed Wake Forest (16-15, 7-11).
Clemson vs. Virginia Tech or Wake Forest will tip at 9:30 p.m. ET Wednesday. The Tigers' first game will be televised on either ESPN2 or ESPNU.
If Clemson wins its ACC Tournament opener, they Tigers will face No. 4 seed North Carolina (24-7, 12-6) in the quarterfinal round of the tournament on Thursday at 9:30 p.m. ET (ESPN or ESPN2).
Clemson lost to both Virginia Tech and Wake Forest in the regular season as part of a late-season slide that saw the Tigers drop five of their last seven contests after a 10-1 start to league play.
Here's a look at the full 1-15 seeds for this year's ACC Tournament in Charlotte.
Notre Dame (13-18, 4-14), Boston College (11-20, 4-14), and Georgia Tech (11-20, 2-16) did not qualify for the ACC Tournament.
Here's a game by game look at the Tigers' 2025-26 men's basketball schedule.
Overall: 22-9.
