One player from each of the conference's 12 teams was asked 10 questions about ACC basketball. The only rule in the poll was players were not allowed to vote for members of their own team.

Occasionally, over the next two weeks, we'll run a different poll question.

Here are the results of the second question, with the number of votes received in parentheses:

What is the toughest arena to shoot in?

Tie, Duke and Georgia Tech (3 votes each)

Also receiving a vote: North Carolina (2), Florida State (1), Virginia (1), Virginia Tech (1), Wake Forest (1)

Quotable: "It's so loud in there with the fans. It's crazy. They give you a hard time." - Clemson wing David Potter on Duke's Cameron Indoor Stadium.

"It just seems like the rims are higher. I don't know why. It feels like the rims are, like, 12 feet high." - Maryland forward Landon Milbourne on Georgia Tech's Alexander Coliseum.

Facts: Over the past 13 seasons, Duke is 186-13 at Cameron Indoor Stadium.

Nine of Georgia Tech's 17 opponents at Alexander Coliseum shot 40 percent or less from the field last season.
