The ACC basketball scene is heating up as the season draws to a close, and it's Duke leading the charge. The Blue Devils are not just setting the pace in the ACC; they're making a strong case as the top team in college basketball. Meanwhile, teams like North Carolina, Louisville, Virginia, and Miami are in hot pursuit, each hoping to close the gap.

As March approaches, Miami and SMU are finding their rhythm, setting themselves up for a strong postseason run. On the flip side, NC State and Virginia Tech are looking to regroup after a less-than-stellar week.
