North Carolina sports betting launch: ACC Tournament Preview

All 15 ACC men’s teams will be heading to the nation’s capital/Capital One Arena for the five-day tournament which tips off Tuesday, March 12.

Bet on individual game point spreads, totals and props as well as futures wagers on which team will cut down the nets on Saturday night.

The top four seeds, including seventh-ranked North Carolina and ninth-ranked Duke, will get double byes into Thursday’s quarterfinals, giving that quartet a huge advantage.

And as the conference’s only teams ranked in the current Associated Press Top 25, the Tar Heels and Blue Devils are the clear tournament favorites. Clemson, Virginia and Wake Forest head up the next tier of contenders according to the major online sportsbooks.

Coach Jon Scheyer’s Duke squad is the defending ACC tourney champs with the Blue Devils having won three of the last six titles overall.

North Carolina, coached by former Tar Heel great Hubert Davis, is seeking its first ACC tourney crown since 2016.

North Carolina, Duke and Clemson are considered NCAA Tournament “locks” by many bracketologists. But keep an eye on the middle of the bracket where the ACC’s “bubble” teams such as Virginia, Wake Forest, Syracuse and Pittsburgh will be trying to play their way into the Big Dance in D.C.
