Our special guest on ACC Nation Podcast/Radio this week is a contributing writer for BasketballNCAA.com. She's also the Press Officer for Italy's College Basketball Tour. Isabella Agostinelli joins us from Perano and shares her love of NCAA basketball, talks about some of the players she follows, who she thinks is the hot team and sets us all straight on what not to put on pizza.
