ACC Women's Basketball Tip-off

[edit]

Prior to the start of the season, the ACC hosted two media days virtually. At the media day, the head coaches voted on the finishing order of the teams, an All-ACC team, a Preseason Player of the Year, and Newcomers to watch. The media day was hosted on November 11&12, 2020. A selected group of student athletes also took questions from the media on this day.[12]

At the media day, both the head coaches and the Blue Ribbon Panel predicted that Louisville would be league champion.[13]
