It's an exciting time around ACC basketball, as we are now just 3 days away from practices getting started on Friday night.  According to  @RealJayWilliams, otherwise known as former Duke star Jay Williams, ESPNU will be covering the opening practices on Friday night.  Jay will be broadcasting from Duke's Countdown to Craziness and also judging the dunk contest for the Blue Devils.

Just yesterday, we received our copy of Blue Ribbon Magazine, and are scouring the pages this week in preparation for the season.  If you want 200 pages of college basketball info, you should pick it today.

Look for our ACC previews to continue this week with the Clemson Tigers up next.  If you missed the first preview of the series, you can find the Boston College preview here.

With around a month until the start of the season, now is a great time to start trying to find league members for our FREE ACC Fantasy Basketball game.  The fantasy league scoring doesn't start until conference play in early December, but the preparation starts NOW.
