The ACC has had a team make the final four 4 straight years; 5 times in that span w/ 4 different program…most teams in the elite 8 + sweet 16 in 2024, most elite 8 teams in 2022 w/3 and no other conference had more than 1; 5 ACC programs have won championships in the 21st century, 9 championships in total; …… the onus is not on our conference to prove themselves.
