It’s been a down year for ACC basketball. There’s no question about that. The conference has produced eight basketball national champions since 2000 with two more teams that appeared in the National Championship Game. Since 2000, Duke and North Carolina have 3 Titles each. Maryland when they were in the ACC won a title in …
