NCAA Tournament

Nine teams from the Atlantic Coast Conference were selected to participate in the NCAA Tournament. Nine teams tied the record for most number of teams from a single conference in the tournament. The record of nine was achieved in 2016, also by the ACC. For the second straight year, seven ACC teams were seeded and received a first round bye in the tournament. The ACC now holds the top three spots for most teams from a conference. The ACC had eight teams invited in 2005. This is the seventeenth consecutive year that at least five teams from the ACC have earned an NCAA bid.[40] All rankings shown in the table below are tournament seeds.
