2026 ACC Men’s Basketball Tournament

16, 12, 8, 4, 2
The only reason I can think of for not doing this is they don't want to add one more day to the tournament for the play-in game with the 15-18 seeds. They want to have the championship Saturday night instead of Sunday afternoon now. Seems they can figure out a way to schedule things so the tournament could start on Monday, though, for the two play-in games so they can still have the final Saturday night. It just makes more sense to have all the teams play than what they are doing now.
