GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) Notre Dame is once again the preseason favorite in Atlantic Coast Conference women's basketball while its best player is the player of the year.
The two-time defending champion Fighting Irish were picked to win the league in separate voting Wednesday by both its coaches and a panel of 51 media members and school representatives.
Notre Dame was chosen first for the second straight year.
Both groups picked the same top six teams: Florida State was second, followed by Louisville, Duke, Syracuse and Miami.
Notre Dame's Brianna Turner was picked by both groups as the preseason player of the year.
