The ACC has won national championships in 1957, 1974, 1982, 1983, 1991, 1992, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2009, 2010, 2015, 2017 and 2019.
Of these, you could say the most remarkable were UNC’s in 1957 (undefeated and two triple overtime games in the Final Four), NC State’s 1974 championship that had to go through UCLA’s dynasty, Duke’s back-to-back titles and last year’s by sensational run by Virginia.
Let’s remember that just the year before, UVA became the first #1 seed to lose to a #16 seed when UMBC just bizarrely took them apart.
Last year though, the Wahoos were a smooth running machine and one that seemed to have phenomenal luck in the NCAA tournament.
