ACC Basketball Rankings Update: December 10 Insights

As of December 10, Duke tops the ACC basketball rankings with a perfect record of 10-0, including five wins over teams in the KenPom top-60. The Blue Devils, guided by coach Jon Scheyer, are enjoying a strong start despite having replaced most of their starting lineup from last season.

Notably, Cameron Boozer is emerging as a key player, serving as a solid successor to Cooper Flagg. Following Duke, Louisville ranks second, having achieved an impressive start as well. The Cardinals hold a record that was nearly perfect before a challenging game against Arkansas, where they struggled with shooting, finishing 8 for 37 from three-point range.

Freshman Mikel Brown and transfer Ryan Conwell have significantly contributed to their success, highlighted by a notable win over Kentucky. The ACC conference, which has faced challenges in recent years, is now seeing increased competitiveness, with around ten teams expected to compete for NCAA Tournament bids as conference play approaches, according to Last Word On Sports.
