UNC's meltdown means that the ACC will have no representative in the Final Four for the second year in a row -- the first two-year absence for the conference since 1979 and 1980.

The ACC has had at least one Final Four team in all but nine years since the end of the Wooden era, and has sent two teams to the same Final Four on five occasions. Six different schools have represented the conference in that span, with four different schools bringing home eight championship trophies.
