another year of the Big 10 getting beat on

 

[i wear sneakers]

^ Indeed. I think they win 2 games.

 

[juicy j 32]

The NC State Mich. St. game should be good.....

 

[downtown43]

big 10 might win more games this year, looks like they mismatched teams to maybe give them a better chance

like why did they give Ohio State to UNC and not MSU

 

[ddot7]

Yawn...

I'm just glad I get to watch Clemson on ESPN.

[color= rgb(255, 0, 0)]Not in challenge: Miami[/color]

Por que no?

 

[downtown43]

^Miami was predicted to finish last in the ACC, so they figured they wouldnt bother including them

obviously its too late to change that

 

[vincec15]

Its a shame the canes arent in it. Wednesday looks like it had the best games

 

[rocketzballa23]

FSU gonna take care of Tubby and Minnesota on Tuesday.

 

[pharelfor3]

Mich St, Indy, and possibly Illinois are the only Big 10 teams that could win. I think

 

[haiti5]

i hate all of you...

but seriously they need to change it to Big East/ACC Challenge

 

[hodog16]

Some games are mismatched also because of attrition. Georgia Tech was going to be good this year until they lost two to the draft (Young and Crittenton). Someother games are probably for storyline, like the rematch of Ohio State and North Carolina.

As for Miami, I guess usually they leave out the last place team? I think Wake Forest was left out last year due to their poor performance the year before.These matchups were originally announced in April so it wasn't due to anything recently.

 

[craftsy21]

I see it going 7-4 ACC...

whoops, thanks petey.. missed the tip-off game withiowa/wf.

 

[petey yup]

-WF
-Indiana
-UVA
-Minnesota
-Duke
-Clemson
-Nc St.
-BC
-Illinois
-UNC
-VA Tech

I got 3 games going to the Little10.....(most I could possibly see is 4, as little as 1 win)

 

[petey yup]

U got a tie in there craftsy?

 

[dajoka004]

I hate this challenge. Year in and year out we get the bottom of the barrel of the Big10. Why should we play NW when we finished tied for first in the regularseason last year? I'm !%+#*++ tired of playing NW.

 

[rocketzballa23]

-WF
-Indiana
-UVA
-Minnesota*
-Duke
-Clemson
-Nc St.
-BC
-Illinois
-UNC
-VA Tech

*Not happening.

 

[petey yup]

Because although UVA has had a little success lately, it's still UVA. UNC, Duke, Maryland, BC, NC St. are teams who are gonna be put against thebetter/more popular L10 teams(Ohio st., Consin, Mich St., etc.)

 

[back1ntheday]

lets go badgers!!!!!!!!!! duke haters unite

 

[deepinthajeep]

I always want a sweep.

Hopefully this year....

Hodog, you still in Gvegas?

James Mays is out for Clemson, probably 3-6 weeks too. Although he has little to no touch around the basket, he's the heart and soul of our team. I'mnot being a pessimist, but I wouldn't necessarily chalk our game against Purdue up as a W. Should be interesting...

 

[theotherai9]

9:00 p.m. (20) Wisconsin at (7) Duke ESPN

My Blue Devils shouldn't have any problems with these jokers.

Yup, still here. I'll be moving to Indianapolis next June though. Gotta get gameplan or something next year to keep watching the ACC in Big Ten country.
