About the ACC tournament?

I don't really get this. I'm watching womens college basketball... Since Duke lost to N.C State are they out of tournament? Does this mean that they won't be able to possibly make it the final four...Elite Eight??? I don't get it at all. Can someone explain the tournament is it even related to the NCAA Championships? Anything helps. Thanks in advance

  1. The ACC is their confrence, and just cause you lose in your confrence tournament doesn't mean your out of the NCAA tournament. Duke is an good example of that, they have been a powerhouse all year so they are in the NCAA tournament but may not have the seed in the tournament they wanted because they lost. So no worries they still have a shot. Most confrences have a season ending tournament to find a confrence champion, the winner of the confrence championship has an automatic position in the NCAA tournament. The rest of the team are selected by a committee
  2. The conference tournaments are just to boost their rating in the NCAA tournament. Duke will probably still have at least #2 in the AP They are definitely in the NCAA Tournament
  3. Don't worry. In College Basketball, every conference (except the Ivy League) determines their champion in a conference tournament format. The winner of that conference tournament gets an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament where they can advance to the Final Four, Elite Eight etc. Those conference champions only account for 31 or 32 of the 64 teams invited to the NCAA tournament however. The other 30 teams are chosen by what they did in the regular season. So Duke, even though they lost today, its a foregone conclusion that they will be in the NCAA tournament and they will still be the No. 1 team in the country. They can still win it all.
  4. Well if Duke is a good team (probobly is) they'll make the tournoment. The only afilliation confrence tournaments have with the ncaa tournament is the the team that wins their confresce tournament automaticially recives a ncaa tournament bid
