Big Ten - ACC Challenge

Yes, I know if officially started yesterday and it tied 1-1 but the big games are coming up tonight and tomorrow.  Here's a quick fact before looking at a couple games.  Did you know the ACC has not won the Challenge since 2008?  Its been a tie or B1G win every year since.

Tonight's slate:

NC State  vs  Michigan - Michigan should be able to pull this one out at home (B1G 2-1)

Virginia Tech  vs  Northwestern - Buzz Williams vs Chris Collins.  I hope Buzz's head pops (B1G 3-1)

#10 Virginia  vs  Ohio State - Should be terrible to watch.  OSU is having a down year.  (B1G 3-2)

#21 Miami  vs  Nebraska - Nebraska always seems ready to turn the corner but doesn't.  Miami is playing out of their minds (B1G 3-3)

Pittsburgh  vs  #11 Purdue - Purdue is even better than I thought.  (ACC 4-3)

#9 North Carolina vs #2 Maryland - the jewel of the night, perhaps of the entire challenge.  Paige is back but is he rusty?  Should be a great game but we'll give it to the home team.  (B1G 4-4)

Tomorrow's slate:

#24 Louisville  vs  #3 Michigan State - State looks good.  Even better than I thought.  (B1G 5-4)

#14 Syracuse  vs  Wisconsin - The Badgers are bad and Syracuse's wins aren't cupcakes like normal.   (B1G 5-5)

Boston College  vs  Penn State - The game only bettors care about.   (B1G 6-5)

#7 Duke  vs  Indiana - Indiana isn't ranked but has shown some light.  Duke's Bigs have been the difference maker this year.  Yes, Marshall Plumlee included.  (B1G 6-6)

Notre Dame  vs  Illinois  - Illinois have been up and down between games and halfs.   Notre Dame lost to Monmouth.    (B1G 7-6)

Florida State  vs  Iowa  - Iowa's had a tough schedule and split their 4 tough games.  Florida State is still trying to find themselves.    (B1G 8-6)

Another Big Ten Win
