High Expectations for Duke, ACC Basketball in 2016-17 Season

The ACC has dominated in men’s basketball lately with the conference making up half of the Elite Eight last season, two 2016 Final Four teams, and a team represented in the national championship game the last two years. College basketball analyst Dick Vitale believes the conference will be even deeper for the upcoming season with several talented teams.

Dickie V notes how the conference has a number of title contenders this season, with the Duke Blue Devils leading the list with a very talented team led by “All-Solid Gold” player Grayson Allen. Vitale also notes other top teams in the conference including last year’s national runner-up UNC, Virginia, Louisville, Florida State, and Syracuse who all have a chance to compete for the ACC title and will be in the NCAA Tournament.
