Two ACC teams this century won a mere four games in a season, Boston College in 2021 and Louisville last year. Both enjoyed half of their victories in ACC competition.
The ’23 Cards were among 26 league squads that lost at least 20 games in a season, three of them enduring that ignominy last year.
Notre Dame’s Fighting Irish spiraled to 11-21 in Mike Brey’s final stand as head coach. Florida State did worse (9-23) under Leonard Hamilton. Its setbacks were the most ever incurred by the men’s program as a member of the Florida Intercollegiate Conference (1955-57), as an independent (1958 through 1976), a member of the Metro Conference (1977-91), or as an ACC school (1992).
