Following the final day of the conference’s regular season on Saturday, the bracket was set in the Atlantic Coast Conference. Now, the teams have tipped off in Charlotte in playing towards the final of the 2025 ACC Tournament.

This will be the first year of the new format of the league’s tournament following realignment. The bottom three teams in the standings were eliminated last weekend at the end of the regular season with NC State (12-19), Boston College (12-19), and Miami (7-24). They’re now at their usual total of 15 teams that will begin on Tuesday and play through five rounds at the Spectrum Center until the ACC Championship Game.

This field will also be very important for the conference in hopes of adding one or two more teams into the field for the NCAA Tournament ahead of Selection Sunday. Duke (28-3), who’s certain to be a No. 1 seed throughout March, along with Louisville (25-6) and Clemson (26-5), who make up the top three seeds, are the only ones projected in at this point with teams like Wake Forest (21-10), North Carolina (20-12), and SMU (22-9), seeded four through six, trying to make their way in off the bubble from how they play in this tournament. The other nine teams in the field would need to win the title this week in order to earn the automatic bid from the conference.

With that, here’s the latest updated results so far from the 2025 ACC Tournament:

ACC Basketball Tournament bracket, schedule, TV

Round 1 (March 11th)

Game 1: No. 12 Notre Dame 55, No. 13 Pittsburgh 54
Time: 2 p.m. ET
Channel: ACC Network

Notre Dame and Pittsburgh jumpstarted the ACC Tournament with a nail-biting finish. After Notre Dame’s Markus Burton missed the game-winning shot, Pittsburgh forward Zack Austin was called for a foul on the rebound with less than a second left in the game. Notre Dame’s Tae Davis was awarded two free throws and he sunk one to boost the Fighting Irish to a controversial 55-54 victory.

Game 2: No. 15 California 82, No. 10 Virginia Tech 73 (2OT)
Time: 4:30 p.m. ET
Channel: ACC Network

After trailing the entire second half, Virginia Tech took a lead with 27 seconds left against Cal, but headed to overtime after a failed inbound play allowed the Golden Bears to tie things up. One OT wasn’t enough, though, as the two teams sat tied 67-67 after five extra minutes. That’s when Cal took over, outscoring Virginia Tech 15-6 to get the victory and advance to the second round of the ACC tournament.

Game 3: No. 14 Syracuse 66, No. 11 Florida State 62
Time: 7 p.m. ET
Channel: ACC Network

Syracuse led at halftime of Tuesday’s game against Florida State, but the Seminoles started to close the gap after the break and got within one point in the final seconds after multiple Orange miscues. However, Syracuse held on to secure the victory and bring Leonard Hamilton’s tenure as FSU head coach to a close.
