ACC Basketball has all but finished up its non-conference schedule. What are some key questions for all the teams heading into the new year?

Is it fair to say that things have been “quiet” for ACC Basketball this season? Out of the 15 teams, only four are ranked (Duke, Louisville, Virginia and Florida State), with there being a clear drop-off with the other 11 teams. There have been a good amount of disappointing results, with some success sprinkled in. But considering the amount of talent that left the ACC this past offseason, this isn’t a surprise for most observers.

What it does set up though, is a very competitive slate of conference battles. There are a number of bubble teams still with a legit shot of making the NCAA Tournament, with some teams at the bottom such as Wake Forest, Boston College and Clemson showing signs that they’re capable of pulling off some upsets.

There are many questions that I have with ACC Basketball going forward, so I asked a few of my peer writers here at Busting Brackets. I offered five burning questions I had and gathered their responses for this article. Here are the participants for this roundtable:
