ACC Contender/Pretender

Pretender:
It hurts but as of today the biggest pretender are the Duke Blue Devils. Sure they’ve played a tough schedule and only lost once but the pretender status has more to do with the lack of point guard play. Currently they are averaging more turnovers than assists. Stats like that usually lead to early round exits. It’s still early in the season and Rivers or Curry may figure it out but as of today it’s not looking good in March

Contender:
Although already 9-4 the Miami Hurricanes are still poised to move up in the conference. Jim Larranaga was hired in April and has to start from scratch this year after 14 years at George Mason. Larranaga has a knack for getting his teams ready for March and I envision this team slowing getting better as the year goes on. Come March this is going to be an 10 or 11 seed that nobody wants to see in their bracket.
