March Madness is here – and it all kicks off with conference tournaments.

Squads across the country will vie for an automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament, which is only secured by winning your conference tournament.

The ACC will be a conference to watch, with a handful of teams expected to receive at-large bids regardless of what happens in the conference tournament. Entering the tournament, six teams are ranked in the top-25.

Who are the best players in the ACC?

Elizabeth Kitley, Virginia Tech: The Hokies are having their best season since joining the ACC in 2004, and Kitley is the centerpiece of it all. The 6-foot-6 junior leads the team in points (17.7), rebounds (10.2) and blocks (2.6), as Virginia Tech is on the cusp of its second straight NCAA Tournament appearance after not making one since 2006.

Elissa Cunane, NC State: A four-year starter, Cunane is once again a driving force for the Wolfpack. NC State won the regular season title, with the 6-foot-5 Cunane averaging 13.4 points, 7.6 rebounds and 0.9 blocks to lead the team.

Olivia Miles, Notre Dame: Miles enrolled early as a freshman last spring and played six games, but 2021-22 was her first full season with the Irish. The 5-foot-10 guard leads Notre Dame in points (13.8), assists (7.0) and steals (1.9) as she hopes to bring the team back to the mountaintop, four years after their last national title.

Emily Engstler, Louisville: After three seasons at conference rival Syracuse, Engstler transferred to Louisville for her senior season. The 6-foot-1 forward leads the No. 2 seeded Cardinals in rebounds (9.1), steals (2.5) and blocks (1.9), anchoring a potent defense.

Jewel Spear, Wake Forest: Spear has carved up the competition in her sophomore season, leading the ACC in scoring at 18.4 points per game. Attempting nearly eight 3-pointers per game, Spear is hoping to shoot the No. 11 seed Demon Deacons into the NCAA Tournament.
