ACC basketball is in a much better spot in mid-December than it was at this point last season.

After losing 14 of 16 games in the 2024 ACC/SEC Challenge, the league bounced back with a respectable 7-9 record. As of Dec. 10, there are seven teams in the conference among the top 40 nationally in the NET (NCAA Evaluation Tool) rankings. On Dec. 10, 2024, there were three teams among the top 40 in the NET.

Duke (10-0) continues to lead the way in the top-25 polls as the No. 3 team in the nation. The Blue Devils are joined in the rankings by No. 11 Louisville (8-1), No. 15/14 UNC (8-1) and No. 25/24 Virginia (8-1).
