The ACC will once again be one of the, if not the, toughest conferences in the entire country come 2018-19. Yes, Duke looses it’s starting five (again) and North Carolina will have to replace Joel Berry II, but let’s not forget both schools bring in top five recruiting classes, and programs like Virginia, Virginia Tech, and Syracuse get just about everyone back and are ready to compete.
There will be so many fresh story lines to follow, including how Louisville fares with their new head coach Chris Mack. The Cards have been under the direction of Rick Pitino for quite some time, and have played extremely well in the ACC, so can Mack and his new staff build off that?
