Charlotte, NC – The 71st season of ACC men’s basketball begins Monday with 14 teams in action. Locally it’s Radford at UNC, Citadel at NCSU, Elon at Wake Forest, and Dartmouth at Duke.
Three ACC teams are ranked nationally in the preseason polls. Duke (2), Miami (13) and North Carolina (19) are ranked in the preseason Associated Press poll, while Duke (3), Miami (13) and UNC (21) hold spots in the preseason USA Today Coaches poll.
• Six members of the 2023 All-ACC Team are back for the 2023-24 season: UNC’s Armando Bacot (first team), Duke’s Kyle Filipowski and Pitt’s Blake Hinson (second) and Clemson’s PJ Hall, Miami’s Norchad Omier and Virginia’s Reece Beekman (third). Bacot is a three-time All-ACC honoree.
• Filipowski was named the Preseason ACC Player of the Year, while UNC’s Elliot Cadeau was tabbed Preseason Rookie of the Year.
• Filipowski was a unanimous selection to the Preseason All-ACC First Team, and he was joined by UNC’s Armando Bacot, Clemson’s PJ Hall, Virginia’s Reece Beekman and Miami’s Norchad Omier.
• Filipowski and Bacot were named Preseason All-Americans by the Associated Press. The ACC was the only league to have multiple players on the team.
• Following a vote of the league’s media, Duke was chosen as the preseason favorite to win the 2024 ACC Championship. The Blue Devils were followed in the poll by Miami, North Carolina, Virginia and Clemson.
• The league welcomes a trio of new head coaches this season: Damon Stoudamire (Georgia Tech), Micah Shrewsberry (Notre Dame) and Adrian Autry (Syracuse).
