The Atlantic Coast Conference as a whole has been fairly underwhelming over the last few seasons in terms of getting teams into the NCAA Tournament field. The ACC has had teams make deep runs, but in terms of the sheer number of teams earning at-large bids, the numbers have been down quite a bit. The ACC hasn't gotten more than five teams in the NCAA Tournament field since 2021, and hasn't had more than two top-four seeds in the same year since 2019. This season, it looked like the conference was back with new head coaching hires and tons of freshman talent throughout the league.
