2009 ACC men's basketball tournament

Schedule

Seeding

Teams were seeded based on the final regular-season standings, with ties broken under an ACC policy.

Wake Forest and Duke split their regular-season games, each winning one. Wake Forest was awarded the second seed for its better record against top-seeded North Carolina: Wake won its only game, while Duke lost both games.

By finishing fourth in the conference, Florida State joined North Carolina, Duke and Wake Forest as teams that received a first-round bye in the tournament. It was the first time that the Seminoles had earned a bye since joining the conference in time for the 1991-92 season.{{cite web |access-date=2009-03-09 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120307215110/http://www.theacc.com/sports/m-baskbl/spec-rel/030809aab.html |archive-date=2012-03-07 |url-status=dead

Clemson received the fifth seed because it beat Boston College in their only meeting.
