GREENSBORO, N.C. -- The Atlantic Coast Conference men's basketball tournament will return to North Carolina in 2019 and 2010 after its two-year stay in New York.
Commissioner John Swofford said at a news conference Thursday that Charlotte's Time Warner Cable Arena would host the event in 2019 followed the next year by the Greensboro Coliseum, located a short drive from the league's headquarters.
