B1G goes 8-4

 

[iowajerms]

Surprises me that UNC and MSU have only faced each other 4x.

Michigan State goes against Duke a lot as well.

Saturday, I went to the SU/Colgate game. I haven't been impressed with the production of the offense so went to see myself. SU is not looking good at all. Other than CJ Fair, there is very little production is coming from the base line.

Coleman put up an o'fer on the evening and went to the line twice. How does the biggest guy on the court not score?

CJ Fair though....the guy is the smoothest player in the nation. Like silk I tell ya.

The guards are looking better than I expected, but again, this was colgate. SU better play a hell of a lot better if they are to beat Indiana on 3 Dec.

I got 6-6. But there are some toss up games IMO. ND vs. Iowa, Wisconsin vs. UVA, Illinois vs. GT, BC vs. Purdue, Miami vs. Nebraska and Minnesota vs. FSU are all toss up games. The match ups look good this year.

B1G is at a pretty big disadvantage this year b/c of the ACC having 14 teams are the ACC not having Va. Tech or Wake Forest part of the challenge.

[The Derski]

7-5 ACC.

lmao @ your predictions.

 

[H2S]

...Boston College at Purdue - 9:00 - ESPN2...7-5 B1G

may not be as gutsy a call as I first thought...if you look only at the W-L record. BC lost small to 3 teams (Providence, UMass & Toledo) who are all unbeaten.

note: UMass hosts Nebraska on Thursday...should be interesting.

Indiana and Michigan could pull upsets. Either way I think both of them go down to the wire. I don't care if Michigan just lost to Iowa St.
