B1G/NCAA basketball

IU never retired Isiah's number?

IU is whooooooping UNC.

I suppose it's too much to ask Spike to be Jordan Hulls LITE by the time he's done at Michigan?

[Dr. Strangelove]

Doubt that Indiana will blow a 26 point lead in 6 minutes so B1G should be 4-2 on the day. Tomorrow's games:

OSU @ Duke
Purdue @ Clemson
MSU @ Miami
Wisconsin v Virginia
Illinois v GA Tech
Penn State v BC

Sparty and Illinois really ought to win. No question they are better than their opponents. Wisconsin hasn't looked great but one would think they can hold their own at home against a Virginia team that's lost to Delaware.

Clemson's played no one and will be tested even by a below average Purdue team. Penn State is bad but BC may be even worse. I'm pessimistic about our chances of beating Duke but we shall see.

B1G should definitely win the challenge now but who knows...

BTW, kudos to Nebraska

[Dr. Strangelove]

Minnesota has won three straight games against Memphis, Stanford, and the Noles. Tubby!!!

Nebraska beat a pretty hapless Wake team but we'll take it. UNL is playing with Division II talent...Miles is a very good coach. That said UNL will be lucky to win 4 conference games this year.

I knew IU was going to be good, but fuck me. They're going to be a bear to take down. It's going to take a massive effort by Coach Matta to nab another B10 regular season title.

UNL beat Indiana last year.

I suppose it's too much to ask Spike to be Jordan Hulls LITE by the time he's done at Michigan?

Probably but it is not out of the question. I like what Spike brings to the table. He may not be spectacular but he seems to play error-free ball and that's impressive for an unheralded Freshman. He only has 1 turnover on the season.

Jordan Hulls is Jon Diebler Lite!

He's Diebler with a future.

BTW- Does the B1G get to claim the Maryland win a wash in the B1G/ACC challenge? :-)

[entropy]

I have been surprised by UNL this year. I didn't expect them to have their current record.

They will in five years if the game ends up on BTN as one of "The Big Ten's Greatest Games"

[WM Wolverine]

I imagine they won't participate (B10-ACC Challenge) next season.
