Duke Repeats As ACC Tournament Champions: How Do ACC Teams Stack Up In Women's NCAA Tournament?

Reese, Kmac, Pam, and Alex break down the women’s ACC Tournament and discuss how ACC teams might fare in the NCAA Tournament.

The women’s ACC Basketball Tournament has concluded and Pam was on-site in Duluth, Georgia, covering the action for the Sports Shop! The Duke Blue Devils captured the championship with a 70-65 overtime victory over the Louisville Cardinals in the title game. Duke overcame a late deficit, tied the game in regulation and then pulled ahead in overtime to claim their second straight ACC Tournament title. Taina Mair earned tournament MVP honors with 19 points and 12 rebounds, while Riley Nelson hit a clutch three-pointer in overtime to secure the win. With the victory, Duke improved to 24-8, claimed their 10th ACC Tournament title and became the first back-to-back champion since NC State in 2020–21.

Now, the conversation turns to the NCAA Tournament: How do ACC teams stack up? Can they compete for a national title? Which teams have the best chance to make a deep run?
