B1G/NCAA basketball

[*JD*]

I'm not sure if UNC is under-rated. They lost to Belmont at home last Sunday.

Inconsistent sounds more like it.

Vermont leading Duke 79-77 with under 4:00 to play

[Dr. Strangelove]

Duke narrowly escapes, 91-90

What a shame. That VT player had a clean block.

This is the most well coached team I think I've ever seen for Minnesota.

[Dr. Strangelove]

Iowa had a nice rally to beat Xavier in OT

All these B10 wins in OOC help RPI, SOS.

Really hope Sparty beats UNC. UNC has now lost to both Belmont and UAB (though they also beat Kentucky)

Eh, my predictions:

Tuesday (12/3)
Illinois @ Georgia Tech -- ILLINOIS
Indiana @ Syracuse -- SYRACUSE
Iowa v. Notre Dame -- IOWA
Michigan @ Duke -- DUKE
Minnesota v. Florida State -- FSU
Penn State @ Pittsburgh -- PITT

Wednesday (12/4)
Michigan State v. UNC -- MSU
Nebraska v. Miami -- UNL
Northwestern @ NC State -- NCS
Ohio State v. Maryland -- OSU
Purdue v. Boston College -- PURDUE
Wisconsin @ Virginia -- VIRGINIA

So, I have a 6-6 tie. The real toss-ups, IMO, are Illinois-GT; FSU-Goofers; UNL-Miami; Purdue-BC and Wisky-UVa. I have the B10 going 3-2 in those games.

[Dr. Strangelove]

Illinois with a really disappointing loss. Indiana gets blown out. Penn State really making Pitt work but will prob end up losing. Not a good start this year

[Dr. Strangelove]

Homes teams all won. That keeps up, we'll tie. Wisconsin has a good chance for a win on the road though.

[iam416]

Illinois shit the bed. Otherwise, everything went according to script.

[Dr. Strangelove]

It's early yet but Michigan State has come out horribly in this game so far

Oh yeah, and we're pretty good. Except we can't shoot free throws

Watching replays of the Wisconsin/Virginia game not recommended for children, pregnant women, and those over 55. Or really, the human race in general
