[Handy Johnson]

Growing up in Superior, when we first got cable television, there was no ESPN but there was TBS out of Atlanta & they showed ACC basketball. This was Lefty Drissell at Maryland, Dean Smith & the 4 corners at UNC, the best player at Duke was Gene Banks & Hawkeye Whitney was a Star ️ for the Wolfpack. That’s why I always get a kick out of this challenge in particular. I’ve always held ACC/B1G Basketball in the highest regard, & I’m hoping we can take care of business down there & come home with a “W”!

[AuroranHusker]

Michigan beat UNC tonight, although it wasn't a B1G/ACC Challenge contest.

For those like Handy who remember the old ACC fondly, I recommend this book...           https://journalstar.com/entertainment/books/review-the-legends-club-by-john-feinstein/article_1a7ebcb4-2324-5512-ae83-91cfb19e6001.html

Michigan already at 26 points with 14 minutes left in the half.... checks the scoreboard... that's the 2nd half.

I thought the Huskers were the only ones who suffered scoring droughts???   Michigan ended the 1st half with 28 pts.  Didn't get a bucket (point) until 12: or so left in the 2nd.  (1-10 for treys)

Their current percentages...

 

3%- 13.3%

FG%- 25.9%

FT%- 71.4%

 

Overall... 10 points on FT's and 30 points via 2's and 3's.

Louisville is a very good team.

[Cazzie22]

Northwestern might be better than we thought.  A road win is impressive.

Boston College is ranked a few spots below us on KenPom.  Not *that* impressive.

[throwback]

Series tied, 4 - 4 - home teams are 4-4 so far & only 1 of the 8 games has been decided by single digits. Clearly, all of these stats point to an NU blowout win in Atlanta Wednesday.

Didn't want to start a new topic.  G. Tech's PG Jose Alvorado is out tonight it looks like.

If Nebraska can take care of business, we could have 7 wins for the Big 10 heading into the evening set.

[hhcmatt]

Penn St looks in control. Just need one more from either Wisky or Ohio St to win this thing

[thrasher31]

Davison gets booed every time he touches the ball. 

 

My heart is happy

[throwback]

I think I need to get on the Kaleb Wesson diet. 

 

If Bucknuts can hold on over final 9 minutes, B1G will win it. Otherwise it's a tie.

I guess Iowa and Northwestern are good for something.....

There might be a few games that we get our teeth kicked in during conference play.

[Faux Mike Peltz]

Purdue, Indiana, Ohio St, and Maryland all looked very impressive. Michigan and Michigan State both got kicked, but will be plenty tough for us to beat
