It’s almost ACC Tournament time.

The Clemson men’s basketball team has won a program-record 18 ACC games this season and will be the No. 3 seed in next week’s conference tournament.

The Tigers finished 26-5 and 18-2 in the ACC after beating Virginia Tech at home on Saturday and finished tied for second in the league with Louisville.

Duke was the ACC regular season champion at 19-1.

Charlotte’s Spectrum Center is hosting the ACC Tournament for the first time since 2019. Clemson, a founding member of the conference, has never won the event in its 70-plus year history. Here’s the ACC’s official bracket for next week:
