Episode 1

07 February 2022 - Episode 1 (1954 - 1957)

When an Indiana native named Everett Case arrives in Raleigh in the mid-1940s to become the basketball coach at North Carolina State, his vision spearheads not just the rise of the sport at his school and in the region, but the start of an athletic conference that will change college basketball forever.

Episode 2

07 February 2022 - Episode 2 (1958 - 1968)

While Everett Case is the ACC's original driving force, he's not the only icon on Tobacco Road to establish a legacy in the conference's early years. From North Carolina's Frank McGuire to Wake Forest's Bones McKinney and Vic Bubas at Duke, new coaches emerge to challenge the early success of Case. It all precedes a final poignant moment of triumph for him in 1965 at the only home the tournament ever knew up to then.

Episode 3

14 February 2022 - Episode 3 (1966 - 1972)

After a rough start, North Carolina's Dean Smith comes to be known for both dominance and dignity, playing a central role in desegregating the ACC with the recruitment of Charlie Scott. Scott is UNC's first African-American scholarship player and the star on some of Smith's greatest teams in the late 1960s.

Episode 4

14 February 2022 - Episode 4 (1973 - 1974)

While the conference tournament is captivating many by the early 1970s, it can be just as frustrating and even heartbreaking for great teams that don't win it, and thus miss out on a chance to play in the NCAA tournament. An intense and high-impact rivalry develops between Maryland and North Carolina State, capped by the finale of the 1974 ACC tournament in arguably the greatest college basketball game ever -- and a battle that helps shape the future of the sport.

Episode 5

21 February 2022 - Episode 5 (1975 - 1980)

In the mid-to-late 1970s, the ACC continues to be the greatest showcase of talent and drama in all of college basketball. Dean Smith's North Carolina teams may be the class of the conference, but rivals also flourish, including a Virginia team in 1976 led by Wally Walker, and a Duke program that re-emerges with a championship run in 1978 followed by a controversial title two years later.

Episode 6

21 February 2022 - Episode 6 (1981 - 1983)

As the ACC thrives thanks to its groundbreaking tournament and the power of television, 7-foot-4 Ralph Sampson enters the conference as one of the most heralded recruits in college basketball history. The Virginia center earns national player of the year honors three times, but never wins the ACC tournament. Meanwhile, Dean Smith earns two more conference titles, and a national championship in 1982 with freshman guard Michael Jordan. The next year, a colorful, charismatic coach named Jim Valvano rides the momentum of an unlikely ACC title to one of the most memorable NCAA runs ever.

Episode 7

28 February 2022 - Episode 7 (1984 - 1989)

As the 1980s continue, familiar and new faces alike define the ACC. After previous ACC tournament heartbreaks, Maryland's Lefty Driesell and Georgia Tech's Bobby Cremins both seek redemption. All the while, Mike Krzyzewski survives early calls for his job, turns up the heat on the Duke-North Carolina rivalry and resurrects Duke into a perennial title contender.

Episode 8

28 February 2022 - Episode 8 (1990 - 1997)

At Duke, Coach K puts together one of the most iconic teams in ACC history with Christian Laettner, Grant Hill and Bobby Hurley. Wake Forest seeks a return to glory led by Randolph Childress and Tim Duncan, and Dean Smith's extraordinary career ends in memorable fashion with a title in 1997.

Episode 9

07 March 2022 - Episode 9 (1998 - 2008)

As a new century dawns, Duke is more dominant than ever, winning an unprecedented five straight ACC tournament titles and seven in eight years with a core of stars headlined by Shane Battier, Jay Williams and JJ Redick. Meanwhile, Roy Williams rejuvenates the Carolina program that his mentor Dean Smith once made standard, and Clemson's pursuit of an elusive ACC championship continues.

Episode 10

07 March 2022 - Episode 10 (2009 - 2020)

The changing college sports landscape brings the conference to 15 member institutions, with Florida State, Miami and Notre Dame each earning their first ACC championships. Virginia's Tony Bennett and Duke phenom Zion Williamson each bring new excitement before the unimaginable happens.
