2025 ACC Basketball Tournament Projection: Bracket, schedule for field if season ended today - March 2

The regular season in college basketball is rapidly coming to an end. That means that the ACC Tournament is around the corner, and with teams looking to steal a bid or earn their way into the NCAA Tournament from the bubble, it’s going to be incredibly important.

On Saturday, there were nine ACC games, getting every team in the conference in action. That led to some massive movement in the tightly contested conference race. It also shook up where the current conference standings work out.

There is still time left in the regular season, so there is still time for the ACC standings to get shaken up. For now, though, here’s a look at the 2025 ACC Basketball Tournament bracket and schedule if the season ended on March 2nd.

ACC Tournament Projected Bracket and Schedule

The ACC is now up to 18 teams, though only 15 teams are going to make the ACC Tournament. As of now, the three teams who are set to miss the tournament are Miami, Boston College, and NC State. There’s a two-game cushion between them and the next three teams in the conference standings.

Six teams will be in action in Round 1 of the ACC Tournament. After that, another five will begin Round 2, after getting a bye week, and the final four teams in the field will begin play in Round 3, which is also acting as the quarterfinals.
