Amateur Status College Basketball ACC Preview


The ACC has been the glamour conference of college basketball for some time. It features the game's most fierce rivalry (Duke/North Carolina) and some of the best coaches you will find in either college or the NBA. Most importantly, these ACC teams are stockpiled with talent. When's the last time you've seen a consensus top 5 prospect sign with a team that had TWO conference wins. You see it in the ACC. This is the conference where Derrick Favors looks to engineer an instant turnaround at Georgia Tech. Even potential bottom feeder Virginia has a stud that can light you up for thirty. He goes by the name of Sylven Landesberg. The Big East is a super conference, true, but there are no off nights in the ACC. Every team in this conference has the talent to beat a top ranked team.
