In an era when the NCAA tournament awarded just one berth per conference, the ACC transformed the sport with its own tournament — to identify its champion (and its NCAA championship contender) — immediately after regular season play. In the years since it first launched the conference tournament, the ACC has showcased many of the game’s all-time greats, from David Thompson, Ralph Sampson, Michael Jordan and Tim Duncan to coaches Dean Smith, Mike Krzyzewski, Jim Valvano and Roy Williams. It has also influenced innovations like the shot clock and three-point line.
Through exclusive footage and interviews with more than 160 players, coaches and media members who have been a part of the ACC tournament since its beginnings, the series explores the inception, transformation and impact of arguably the most storied, significant and successful conference in the history of men’s college basketball, and its tournament on entire eras of the game.
