BC did not look very good at the outset; but they are starting to play better.  I have read that their defense in the paint is pretty stout.  We shall soon see.

Yes, but have they seen a basketball player like Point Walker yet? I think not!

Told my son that "Pitt is not good at basketball" but as a Nebraska basketball fan we've already had the 'when bad teams win' talk

You should show him the video of Jerome Lane busting the backboard…

I can foresee this as ending in a draw unless we get bonus points for the Purdue/Fla.St. matchup.

We do tend to beat ourselves quite often…

B1G gets .5 for our defeat of Florida St as it was day adjacent to the challenge

Of course we read every detail. We're Husker fans. We track planes. We know the names of all the local cable installers. No detail gets past us

I think your math is wrong here. Shouldn’t it be 3-2 after the early games tonight?

Clemson beats Penn State in 2 OT's.  Quite the game.

Iowa takes care of Ga Tech by 16.

Wake Forest beats Wisco at Wisco.  Chucky with an ill advised 3 at the end.  78-75 final

Virginia wins at Michigan 70-68.  Quite the drama in this one as VA missed some FTs and it appeared there may have been a foul on the final 3 attempt for Michigan.

Ohio St @ Duke

Rutgers @ Miami

UNC @ Indiana

Michigan St @ Notre Dame

With the addition of the California schools, I wonder if the B1G will align itself into East/West divisions in Basketball not unlike Football? 

[royalfan]

I still cannot believe they didn't call a foul on a Bryce game winning attempt in one of the overtimes last year.

My suspicion is that divisions will disappear in all sports within the Big Ten.

Maybe a B1G East/B1G West challenge as a replacement for ACC/B1G?

 

I think divisions will depend on sport. Non-revenue sports may primarily play in divisions with cross-over games being rare, almost like non-con games. Save some money on travel.

 

Baseball and softball though, I could see them not using divisions and holding as many conference games early in the year as possible at USC & UCLA (if UCLA finally approves jumping to the B1G, that is).

 

Of course, it all depends on when/if the B1G finishes raiding the Pac-?? and adds Oregon, Washington, et al.

 

Whoever the schedule guru is for the B1G is going to earn his/her cash. It's going to be complex and very sport-specific. And the TV folks may have an idea or two. I'd gue$$ the B1G will li$ten to them.

Maybe it's just me...but we have the regular season and the tournament..whatever forms they take to see Big 10 teams play each other. I don't see a Big 10 no matter how you slice it challenge as being all that special. Needs to continue to be betwen conferences or not continue at all.  Just put regular games aren't part of a challenge or whatwever.

It was kind of interesting watching Danny Manning on the Louisville sidelines. He was the interim HC at Maryland last season after Turgeon was fired.

 

Now, he's on the bench for winless Louisville while his former program is undefeated under a new coach.

 

Speaking of which, does ANYONE have a quick link to the list of probably just conference programs and their off-season personnel changes? I'd be curious to know who returned for Maryland and who Willard brought in new this season.

 

Maryland looked really good last night, particularly in the 2nd half. At one point, they were 6-9 on second half treys. Louisville looked more like us.
