Today was the ACC basketball media day (almost there), and with that comes the ACC preseason poll. Pretty expected, except for Clemson's high ranking and Georgia Tech's first place votes:
1. Duke (25 first-place votes) 545 points
1. North Carolina (20) 545
3. Clemson 409
4. Georgia Tech (2) 387
5. Maryland 378
6. Wake Forest (1) 315
7. Florida State 314
8. Virginia Tech 273
9. Boston College 251
10. Miami 135
11. Virginia 116
12. N.C. State 76
PRESEASON ALL-CONFERENCE
Greivis Vasquez, Maryland 45 votes
Trevor Booker, Clemson 44
Kyle Singler, Duke 43
Malcolm Delaney, Virginia 24
Ed Davis, UNC 21
PRESEASON ACC PLAYER OF THE YEAR
Singler 19
Vasquez 15
Booker 8
Not really sure I agree with Duke being so high with basically only two established guards on their team and no Gerald Henderson, but pretty straightforward.
It was great to see Vasquez near-unanimous first team, though I think he maybe should've been the POY too (just my inner homer speaking). Singler is perennially overrated, unfortunately.
Any thoughts, other than "Thank god for basketball season"?
