The North Carolina Tar Heels and Duke Blue Devils have 40 ACC tournament titles between them, but only one program has a recent victory at the event.
North Carolina, who leads the ACC at the moment, has not won the ACC tournament since 2016. Duke has three titles in that span. The Florida State Seminoles, Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets and Virginia Tech Hokies each have one win since 2016.
The Tar Heels should be favored to cut down the nets in Washington, D.C. as they pursue a No. 1 seed in the NCAA men's basketball tournament.
Duke will try to spoil the Tar Heels' conquest in a potential championship game that would be the third game of the season in the historic rivalry.
