Men's College Basketball Conference Races: Pt. 2 ACC Favorite - Virginia | Seed: (2-4) The Cavaliers started their season off strong with wins against Baylor, Illinois, and Michigan and quickly asserted themselves as the top team in the ACC. However, they have recently dropped two straight against Miami and Houston. These losses can be blamed on their 3 point shooting, as they shot 60%, 30%, and 50% from 3 in their wins against Baylor, Illinois, and Michigan, but shot 27% and 26% against Houston and Miami. If they figure that out, Virginia should return to being not only the best in the ACC, but also one of the best in the country. Contenders - Miami, Duke, North Carolina Though Miami beat UVA, they don’t have any other huge wins and got blown out by Maryland. They’re the top team to challenge Virginia, and though they have already successfully challenged them once, they must stay consistent to win the ACC regular season title. Duke and North Carolina both had very high aspirations

Men's College Basketball Conference  Races: Pt. 1 ASUN Favorite - Liberty | Seed: (13-15) Liberty, led by Darius McGhee, has been the ASUN’s favorite since the year began. They didn’t get off to the best start, but have gone 7-1 in their last 8 games with wins over Bradley and Bryant. It won’t be easy for them, but if Liberty can pair a secondary scorer outside of McGhee with their already great defense, they’ll be hard to beat Contenders - Florida Gulf Coast, Queens, Jacksonville, Lipscomb, Kennesaw State We start off with 5 solid contenders. Florida Gulf Coast and Queens currently have the best records in the ASUN, with FGCU having beat very good teams like St. Bonaventure and USC. Jacksonville finished near the top of the league last year, led by Kevion Nolan, who is probably the second best player in the ASUN. Lipscomb and Kennesaw State both have played very hard schedules, both sporting good wins and close losses against very good teams. Sleeper - Stetson Stetson started off
