The ACC regular season came to an end Saturday night with all eyes on UNC at Duke. The Tar Heels held off the Blue Devils, winning 84-79 and clinching the top seed in the ACC Tournament. Duke will enter the tournament as the #2 seed, joining UNC, Virginia, and Pitt in getting a double-bye to start the tournament.
The ACC Tournament tips off Tuesday, March 12 at 2pm ET with #12 Notre Dame vs #13 Georgia Tech, followed by two more games that afternoon/evening.

What Are the ACC Tournament Odds?
When ACC Tournament futures opened, the majority of sportsbooks were favoring Duke. However, we have seen a couple start to lean towards North Carolina. Regardless of where you look, though, these two schools are the clear cut favorites to win the tournament.
Team | Odds to Win ACC Tournament |
---|---|
Duke | +180 |
North Carolina | +190 |
Wake Forest | +750 |
Clemson | +1000 |
Virginia | +1400 |
Pittsburgh | +1400 |
Virginia Tech | +3300 |
Syracuse | +5000 |
NC State | +5000 |
Florida State | +6600 |
Miami | +10000 |
Boston College | +20000 |
Georgia Tech | +20000 |
Notre Dame | +20000 |
Louisville | +20000 |
If you were to bet $20 on Duke to win the ACC Tournament at the +180 odds above, you would stand to win $36 and return $56. That same bet on North Carolina at +190 odds would potentially profit $38 and return $58. Based off those odds, Duke’s probability to win the tournament is 35.7% while North Carolina’s is 34.5%.
The payouts get much higher if you want to bet someone other than Duke or North Carolina. If you like Wake Forest at +750 odds, your potential winnings on a $20 bet would be $150 with you returning $170.
