It seems year in and year out the ACC pre-season forecasters always find themselves choosing between Duke and North Carolina for the conference title. This year is an exception. North Carolina State, with its top four scorers returning and a star studded recruiting class, is the school of choice.  The Wolfpack lost to Kansas last March in a Sweet 16 matchup under the Arch in St. Louis.  Junior C.J. Leslie, the ACC’s best player, is back with his 14 points and 7 rebounds per game.

The 2012-13 college hoops season starts with a flurry of unbelievable matchups.  Below are the ten that I am most intrigued by (organized in chronological order).

UConn v. Michigan State – November 9 – Armed Forces Classic
Connecticut and Michigan State kick off their seasons overseas, each looking to develop new identities.  Following the retirement of Jim Calhoun, Connecticut head coach Kevin Ollie has the task of building up a program that has spent the past few seasons fully entrenched in NCAA controversy.  The Huskies lost Andre Drummond and star two-guard Jeremy Lamb to the NBA Draft, and if Connecticut is to remain a threat in the Big East, Ryan Boatright and Shabazz Napier are going to need to develop into strong leaders from the guard spots.  Although Michigan State returns with most of last season’s roster, the loss of Draymon Green leaves a gaping void in leadership for the Spartans.  Junior guard Keith Appling will be counted on to pick up the slack, and the Appling v. Boatright positional matchup will be the one to watch in this game. Derrick Nix and Adreian Payne will form a very physical inside presence for the Spartans, which I expect will give Connecticut some trouble.
