The 2016 ACC Tournament is at Washington, D.C.’s Verizon Center.  This is the second time the ACC Tournament has been held in that building.  In 2005, the tournament was played there when the building was known as the MCI Center.   The Capital Centre in nearby Landover, Maryland hosted the tournament three times (1976, 1981, and 1987).

The UNC basketball team clinched the ACC regular season championship with a Saturday night victory over Duke.

The Tar Heels will be playing for their 18th ACC Tournament Championship.  Their last conference tournament win came in 2008.
