The official start to the 2016-17 NCAA basketball season is just around the corner and there’ll be no shortage of excitement  in the Atlantic Coast Conference.

Amongst all of the anticipation and expectations exist a handful of storylines that fans will undoubtedly be anxious to watch play out.

Not unlike a Hollywood movie or Broadway play, the rising action can be just as entertaining as the climax. Fans need not wait until the month of March for nail-biting drama.

And in college basketball’s premiere conference, that’s especially likely to be the case.

A Duke team that boasts as much freshman talent as we’ve seen in recent years. An experienced North Carolina squad that returns the majority of its starters from a season ago. A Virginia program that threatens the aforementioned perennial powers for conference supremacy.

Without further ado, let’s take a look at the ACC’s top five storylines for the 2016-17 college basketball season.
