Because it has been for the most part the central location for all ACC teams The official rationale given by the ACC is that playing the ACC Tournament in Charlotte or Greensboro guarantees that it will be the biggest event going on in the city that weekend. There are fewer other things going on in those cities with which the tournament would compete for attention. Washington and Atlanta (the two other places where the ACC has held tournaments in the past) are much bigger cities with many other things going on, especially Washington. With all of that said, the league is holding the tournament outside the Carolinas more often--2005 in Washington, 2007 in Tampa, and 2009 in Atlanta.
The Hurricanes can reach the 2012 tournament by winning the ACC Tournament. In order to do so, they would need to beat Georgia Tech, FSU, Duke/Clemson/or Virginia Tech, and UNC/UVA/Maryland/Wake Forest/NC State/or Boston College. If they do not win the ACC Tournament, they might be able to make it into the tournament as an at-large selection if they win 3 games in the ACC Tournament. They may still be able to make it with 1 or 2 wins but it is not nearly as likely with 3 or 4 wins (win tournament).
Duke has 23 ACC Tournament Championships and 22 regular season titles.
Florida defeated Oklahoma in the 2009 BCS championship in Miami but it was for the 2008 season. Alabama won the national championship in 2009.
North Carolina has won 18 ACC Tournament Championships and 31 regular season titles.
