ACC Tournament History

Before the March Madness of the NCAA Tournament gets underway every year, basketball fans enjoy the excitement and drama of the conference tournaments, and the ACC Men’s Basketball Tournament is undoubtedly one of the best. The Georgia Dome in Atlanta, Georgia is set to host the 2009 ACC Tournament, and Premiere Sports Travel can get you there with an all-inclusive ACC Tournament travel package complete with tickets, hotel accommodations and transportation to the arena.

As you would expect, the history of the Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament is peppered with great players and coaches. David Thompson, Michael Jordan, Tim Duncan, Ralph Sampson and Bob McAdoo are just a few of the future NBA stars who shined brightly in the tournament. And the ACC wouldn’t be what it is today without the influence of North Carolina’s Dean Smith, who coached the Tar Heels to 13 ACC Tournament championships, on the way to 11 Final Four appearances. If you want to be there this year, now is the time to order your ACC Basketball Tournament package.

The great rivalry between the Duke Blue Devils and North Carolina Tar Heels is well documented, and it should be as intense as ever this time around as both proud schools are tied with 16 ACC Tournament championships to their credit and there’s always a good chance they will meet in the final. Of course you can’t discount teams like Wake Forest, N.C. State, Boston College, Maryland or Virginia Tech, but to see Coach K from Duke and Roy Williams from North Carolina meet up is always something special. You can bet that ACC Tournament tickets and Atlanta hotel rooms are going to be hard to find around tournament time, but Premiere Sports Travel has a variety of ACC Tournament travel packages that include both.
