Duke will play Indiana at Cameron in the Big 10 Challenge. Indiana is projecting as 20-30ish rankings wise.

Gophers lol

That'll be a good test IMO, and if I had to guess I'd say we'll be an underdog heading into the game. At this point I'm not expecting to win. Would certainly be a Q2 win at worst IMO.

It’s the fact we get Boston College. They might be ok relative to how bad they usually are.

But nobody is gonna look and say “can’t wait for that game Vs BC” or “damn that BC win was nice”

They at least limited the ball licking enough to avoid a home game vs 0-18 Pitt

Oh I agree with that. But we don't deserve a better team tbh. They were an nit team, so a road win would be a quality win. If we have a quality year this year maybe we can draw a Duke, UNC, UL, ND or Cuse type of team.

How did I miss this ?? Pitt..... just great. At least we got a home game. I feel like 80% of our challenge games have been on the road with 2/3 of them VS VT lol

ACC is clearly the stronger league. ACC could have 4 or 5 teams that could be favored on a neutral court over anybody the B1G could put out.

B1G matches up better with the Big East this year, but Sparty pussied out of the Gavitt Games again. Now, they'll have to slum it by playing in it 4 years in a row.

Yeah, I agree. I would be surprised if the B1G managed to get more than 5 wins in the challenge this year.

I hope you beat the ever-livin shit outta those cock suckers
Same here. I still remember the last time we went up there and faced them in the B1G/ACC challenge and they cheered when Justin Anderson went down to an ankle injury.

I too hate those mother fuckers with a passion.

Bump with games starting tomorrow:

Nebraska(5-1) at Clemson(5-1) - 7:00 | ESPN2
Minnesota(5-0) at Boston College(4-1) - 9:00 | ESPN2

Two really toss up games according to Vegas. Clemson -3.5, BC -1.0 as it stands now. Can see either game going either way.

I've got the ACC with 8 wins based on who should win ... and not who could.

B1G is obviously a lot stronger than most people thought. Should be much better than last year's bloodbath.
