On Thursday, Duke basketball fans will find out how the current Blue Devils — with sophomore point guard Tre Jones as their leader — stack up against the rest of the ACC in the eyes of “experts.”
Those fans who value past success should look at the past failures regarding predictions from the conference’s media days and realize they’d be better off placing their chips on any team or player other than the ones the media sees finishing on top. After all, the last time the media correctly pegged both the champion of the regular season and the ACC Player of the Year was prior to the 2007-08 season (UNC, Tyler Hansbrough).
