Pretty weak games (going by the rankings) outside of Duke and Wisconsin

 

[douggie]

Dez Wells out for Maryland will really hurt them against UVA even at College Park. Miami is ranked, although not showing up on this list. This is from the B1G website.

 

[podsox]

Illinois vs Miami should be really good. love the guards on their team. if they had a couple big guys that could rebound and clean up put backs they would be dangerous. their 2 big guys r pretty bad though

 

[Shanemansj13]

tOSU vs Louisville should be good

 

[bksballer89]

tOSU vs Louisville should be good

That was the other one that did catch my eye.

 

[bksballer89]

I don't really pay attention to CBB in the offseason so have no idea who should be good or not but can Iowa go to Carolina and make a game out of it?

 

[mr.hockey4242]

A lot of these should be good.


Look for ND to give MSU a run

 

[The Derski]

Nebraska over FSU
Clemson over Rutgers
Pitt over Indiana
Michigan over Cuse
Minny over Wake
Miami over Illini
Purdue over NC St.
Louisville over Buckeyes
MSU over ND
Penn St. over VT
UNC over Iowa
Virginia over Maryland
Northwestern over G-Tech
Wisky over Dook

 

[BigAppleBadger]

9:30pm start is rough. At least basketball games are shorter than football, but I'll still be up till 4:30am if I want to watch that one.

I think they COULD make it a game with their depth, but there isn't really a leader or go to guy on the team so I doubt this will be close.

 

[H2S]

even so..."weak" compared to what?

Pretty weak games (going by the rankings) outside of Duke and Wisconsin

interesting enough to rate 2 threads on this forum, though...eh?

No. Absolutely not. Cancel the world. Rutgers will play Clemson next week in the ACC/B1G challenge???

They have to play somebody so might as well play each other, though Penn State vs. Clemson and Rutgers vs. VTech would have been better matches.

Rutgers did take down Vandy on Friday. Tonight: UVA 45 ... Rutgers 26. Yikes.

 

[HoHumHokie]

Isn't the ACC already 4-0 against the B1G this season?

L-ville over Minny, Duke over MSU, Syracuse over Iowa, UVA over Rutgers, any others?

 

[tducey]

A lot of good games in there for sure. Hopefully they all live up to the hype.

 

[Dougie McBuckets]

Must admit I'm excited about more than one of these matchups.

 

[Jim Rome is Flaming]

Time to show Duke how white boy basketball is played.

 

[douggie]

This will be a difficult task for Duke to beat Wisconsin in Madison. I watched the game against Army and all the while thinking how they would play in this game. Playing on the road, Duke hasn't played together as much as Wisconsin has and that experience along with Duke's young freshmen not quite getting the defense yet means that the Badgers will be favored. I'm hoping Duke can keep this one close and maybe have a shot at the end. The line hasn't come out as of yet, but it will probably be Wisconsin -6 1/2 or something close to that.
