They defeated Miami in the quarterfinals of the ACC tournament and advanced to the championship game after Virginia was forced to withdraw from the tournament after a positive COVID-19 test.[1] They defeated Florida State to win the tournament championship.[2] As a result, they received the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA tournament as the No. 9 seed in the Midwest region.[3] They lost in the first round to Loyola.[4] It was the first time since 2010 that the Yellow Jackets had participated in the NCAA Tournament, and their first ACC Championship since 1993.
