The 2002 Atlantic Coast Conference Men's Basketball Tournament took place from March 7-10, 2002 in Charlotte, North Carolina at the Charlotte Coliseum. Duke won the tournament for the fourth year in a row, defeating NC State in the championship game. The two teams would go on to meet in the championship game in the next season. Duke's Carlos Boozer won the tournament's most valuable player award.
The University of Maryland were the ACC regular season champions, but lost to NC State in the semifinal round. Maryland would go on to win the NCAA Championship for the first time in school history.
Duke defeated all three of their in-state rivals on their way to the tournament championship. They defeated arch-rival North Carolina in the quarterfinal round, Wake Forest in the semifinal, and NC State in the championship game.
It was the last tournament to be held at Charlotte Coliseum. Shortly after the ACC tournament, the NBA Hornets moved to New Orleans, and the arena's fate was condemned as the expansion Bobcats requested a new arena downtown. This led to the venue closing after 2005 and imploded in 2007. Future events in Charlotte were held at the considerably smaller Time Warner Cable Arena.
