College Hoops: ACC

I am Orso'Grande.

I was planning to discuss Stanford’s resurgence in the Pac10 this morning, but since IMC asked so nicely, ACC it is.

With two of the very best players in the country (Williams inside and Reddick outside), last year’s top recruit Demarcus Nelson returning as a much-improved sophomore, and the best recruiting class in all of the NCAA, Duke is all but a lock in the enlarged and weakened Atlantic Coast Conference.

All but a lock? Coach K, meet the Eagles. Boston College is underrated for a team that brings back Jared Dudley and Craig Smith. Look for BC to (fight it out? wait it out? no! no!) duke it out with the Blue Devils at the top of the ACC.

Conference Player of the Year: J.J. Reddick (Duke)
Teams that will Make it Into March: Duke, Maryland, Boston College, Georgia Tech.

Team that will go Farthest in March: Boston College (yes, there it is, I said it).
