2010 ACC Men's Basketball Tournament
The 2010 Atlantic Coast Conference Men's Basketball Tournament, a part of the 2009-10 NCAA Division I men's basketball season, took place from March 11–March 14, 2010, at the Greensboro Coliseum in Greensboro, North Carolina. The tournament was broadcast on the ESPN family of networks except in ACC markets, where it was syndicated by Raycom. Both broadcasters had the games available in HD. As of June 2010, the Greensboro Coliseum has hosted the ACC Men's Basketball Tournament 22 times, more than any other venue.
This tournament was notable for the high number of upsets, with the higher seed winning only twice in the first two rounds, and the 11 and 12 seeds progressing to the semifinals. The championship game matched Duke against Georgia Tech. Duke won the championship game, 65–61, to win its 9th ACC championship in 12 years, and the most titles in ACC history at 18. As the conference champion, Duke received the ACC's automatic bid to the 2010 NCAA Tournament, which Duke would go on to win.

Famous quotes containing the words men and/or basketball:
“true pleasure
Lives in measure,
Which if men forsake,
Blinded they into folly run and grief for pleasure take.”
—Unknown. Love Winged My Hopes and Taught Me How to Fly (l. 3–6)
“Perhaps basketball and poetry have just a few things in common, but the most important is the possibility of transcendence. The opposite is labor. In writing, every writer knows when he or she is laboring to achieve an effect. You want to get from here to there, but find yourself willing it, forcing it. The equivalent in basketball is aiming your shot, a kind of strained and usually ineffective purposefulness. What you want is to be in some kind of flow, each next moment a discovery.”
—Stephen Dunn (b. 1939)
