Seems very muted this week...lots of match ups that are 3-2 teams that used to be ranked etc....a down year for both conferences?
B10/ACC challenge
- Thread starter denverexpat
- Start date
Based on my limited viewing, the ACC looks awful except for Duke. The Big 10 has lots of early losses, but the only Big 10 game I've seen was Purdue over UNC. The Challenge is more important than it used to be. Since going to 20 conference games, most teams only play two tough non-conference games plus the challenge. The results sway the computer rankings for the rest of the year
You’re right about the acc I’m afraid. Already taken a boat load of losses to non power 5s and not just ga tech and bc and the usual suspects. Pitt appears to be horrific Syracuse has already lost to Colgate and Vcu. FSU only other legit 25 quality team but unc has a good chance. But outside of those 3 I don’t know
My mom would beg to differ. She thinks he’s the goat and her unabashed crush on him is embrassing to witness and makes the rest of the family a little uncomfortable quite frankly
It's awful. Tony Bennett is amazing. His team has no talent. But they have a chance. Cut Iowa's lead to 6
Why was there no urgency at the end? 8 seconds and Clark was just regularly dibbling up the court. Get up there and give yourself a chance for a couple tip-ins if you miss.
For some reason I'm more worried about Ohio State Tuesday than I was Friday. Maybe because we had nothing to lose Friday. Gonzaga is only up 2 on Tarelton State, (who is 1 and 5) in the second half, so letdown is a thing. I think it will be close, and we may have to come back. OSU will be amped up.
Duke 72
Ohio State 71
Duke 72
Ohio State 71

Yup. True road test big deal. Look at auburn Alabama sat. In bball home crt normally worth 5-7 points. But when you’re 1 team in country and you’re Duke that crowd will be ape **** and players will be playing way beyond their norm
We have to play every game like it's the biggest game of the year. Even the cup cakes. OFC
ACC giving it up tonight so far. Pitt should have won and Cuse just let one get away. Still not over but shoulda been a win
No defense in the Syracuse vs Indiana game, but lots of fun! Syracuse leads 105-101 in double overtime
Pretty well sums up the rest of the night for the ACC.
That looks pretty scientific. The phone was in my pocket and typed gibberish. Last time that happened, my phone typed a long text in Russian somehow to my girlfriend's sister. I have no idea how . The sister thought it was a bizarre pickup line. My girlfriend thought it was amusing and realizes I don't have the nerve, and her sister is a bit crazy
One of them isn't a German model are they? With a Dallas tattoo? LOL!
As a HS Freshman, my son learned how to swear in Russian so he could curse out the Middle School knuckleheads on his bus (who constantly annoyed the hell out of everyone) without getting into trouble.
One day a MS kid was squealing like the Geico pig nonstop. Finally, my son son stood up, turned around and let fly a torrent of Russian profanities. Kid didn't make a peep the rest of the ride.
Couple of minutes later my son looked up at the bus driver to guage wether or not he was in any kind of trouble. Bus driver just looked into the big mirror, caught my son's eye and gave him the slightest of nods.

This reminds me of some of those articles Hunter Thompson wrote for rolling stone back in the day. Well done
The sister is practically a German model. Stunning, but extremely rigid.
