How UNC can earn No. 1 seed at ACC tournament without winning at Duke

Posted Feb 29, 2024
The ACC regular-season title could still come down to No. 9 UNC’s visit to No. 10 Duke on March 9, but some scenarios would allow the Tar Heels to clinch the No. 1 seed in the ACC tournament without winning that game. But that got more challenging after Wake Forest lost at Notre Dame on Tuesday. UNC has already clinched no worse than the No. 2 seed. (Tar Heel Tribune)
