Here is the latest ACC sports news from The Associated Press

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Transfers moving from one Atlantic Coast Conference women’s basketball program to another could have an impact on the league title race. Louisville, Georgia Tech and Virginia Tech each added two players from other ACC schools. North Carolina State and Virginia also added intra-conference transfers. Hokies coach Kenny Brooks said teams now “can’t help but notice programs” as they evaluate players who enter the transfer portal. First-year Florida State coach Brooke Wyckoff has a team that lost three players to other ACC schools. She says it’s just the “new normal” in a time of freer player movement with the transfer portal.

CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) — No. 4 Clemson is finally getting healthy on defense. That should be a major problem for the Tigers’ opponents the second half of the season. Injured defensive end Xavier Thomas played for the first time this season last week and had two sacks and a quarterback pressure in just six snaps. Defensive tackle Bryan Bresee plans to play this week after missing the past two games due to a kidney infection. And starters in the secondary in cornerback Sheridan Jones and safety Tyler Venables both will play Saturday night when Clemson heads to Florida State.
