With the college basketball regular season nearly in the books and conference tournaments getting set to take place – or already taking place – all across the country, there continues to be a better feel of the teams that will make up the NCAA Tournament.

Looking specifically at the ACC, the league is set to have a number of teams in the NCAA Tournament field with Duke, North Carolina, Notre Dame, Miami and Virginia Tech all expected to be among the 68 teams that make up March Madness.

As the ACC’s regular season slate wrapped up on Saturday and with the ACC Tournament bracket now set, college basketball analytical guru Ken Pomeroy of KenPom.com has projected every team’s chances of winning the ACC Tournament this next week.

According to KenPom, he gives top-seeded Duke the best chance to win the conference tournament title at 48.6% and says the Blue Devils have a 65.3% to make the championship game. The next closest favorite to win the ACC Tournament is No. 3 North Carolina, which KenPom says has a 13.6% chance to capture the title and a 36.5% chance to make the championship game.

Alongside Duke and North Carolina, KenPom projects No. 5 Wake Forest to have the third-best chance to win the ACC Tournament championship – saying the Demon Deacons have a 8.4% chance to take home the trophy and giving them a 15.9% chance to make the championship game. The next closest team in KenPom’s projection is No. 2 Notre Dame, which has just a 8.4% chance to capture the title.

Here’s a complete look at KenPom’s projection for the ACC Tournament.
