The Atlantic Coast Conference is one of the top leagues in college basketball nearly every season and has a rich history of success on the national stage. Nine conference teams were sent to last season’s NCAA Tournament; four advanced to the Sweet Sixteen, and two went on to the Elite Eight. Ten ACC players were selected in the NBA Draft, with six of those coming in the first round.
Yet, somehow this season may be even more competitive.
ACC teams landed nineteen Top 100 recruits, and twelve teams start the year with a legitimate chance of making the NCAA Tournament.
