Getting in basketball mode

Summer hoops preview

Basketball practice starts today and the first game is Nov. 9 with North Carolina, the 2009 national champions, hosting FIU and Isiah Thomases.

In between there's ACC media day (Oct. 25) and lots of speculation about freshman, NCAA bids and offseason workouts.

UNC and Duke are expected to be good, if not great, N.C. State is not and Wake Forest is somewhere in the middle.

We wrote about this in July, feel free to refresh your memory (I still like Duke to win the ACC and Virginia is my surprise team).

We'll be at almost-Midnight Madness tonight at all three Triangle schools so check back for live coverage tonight.
