DURHAM – The bracket for the 2022 New York Life ACC Tournament has been announced with the Duke Blue Devils entering as the league's outright regular season champion with the No. 1 seed. The tournament begins Tuesday at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y.
Duke (26-5, 16-4) has a double bye to the quarterfinals as will play the winner of the 8/9-seed game between Florida State and Syracuse on Thursday at 12 p.m. on ESPN. The FSU/Syracuse game is scheduled for Wednesday at 12 p.m. on ESPN. The winner advances to Friday's semifinal at 7 p.m. vs. either No. 4 Miami, No. 5 Wake Forest, No. 12 Pitt or No. 13 Boston College.
The regular season title is the 20th in program history and the first since 2019-10 season. It also marks the program's first outright crown since 2005-06. Duke won ACC Tournament titles in both 2006 and 2010, and all-time, has won 10 of its 20 ACC Tournaments when entering as the regular-season champion or co-champion.
Head Coach
Mike Krzyzewski owns 13 regular-season crowns, topped only by Dean Smith (16) for most by a head coach. Coach K's 13 regular-season titles are more than any single ACC program besides Duke and North Carolina.
Duke is 105-45 (.700) all-time in the ACC Tournament with 21 titles – conference records for wins, winning percentage and titles. FSU and Syracuse each faced Duke twice this season, with the Blu Devils sweeping the Orange and splitting meetings with the Seminoles.
All 14 tournament games will be nationally televised on ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU or ACC Network. In addition, all games will be available for streaming via ACCNX.
