B1G/ACC Challenge Pairings

[Red_Alert]

Hit both these FT's and they should be good.

Wow. Penn State loses to DePaul but somehow beats Va Tech.

 

[Red_Alert]

Nice win for Penn St

A little luster added to our UL win
Nice

Outside of the Duke game. All these games have been very entertaining in their own right.

Would be awesome if sometime Happ or Davison suffered a catosrophic injury during one of their egregious flops

Yeah Davison is annoying as hell. I can already tell I'm going to hate him for the next 3 years.

Big win for the Badgers. This team has a positive energy and outlook that was missing last year, and it is most evident in three point shooting. I know Trice won't keep shooting 60% from 3 all year, but having a true point guard who can bail you out was really missed last year.

I didn't catch much of the Iowa game, but there's something to be said about winning when you don't play well. That is a big win to help us get the Challenge back and hopefully getting some respect our conference was missing last year.

What a great group of games tonight . All of them coming down to the wire aside from IU/Duke . Iowa played like total horseshit but a win is a win. I like that Pitt team. They got some grit

 

[rmilia1]

So 4-4 going into the last night ? Should be an exciting finish . Only real surprises so far imo are PSI over VT and ( to a lesser extent ), Nebraska over Lemson and UL over MSU although those are not too crazy

We played like ass tonight. It'd be nice if the NCAA would quit screwing over Landers Nolley so we could have some depth in games like this where no one is playing well and we need a spark

I think PSU has potential to be a tourney team but right now that's a surprising result. What's the word on Nolley? I know he had to retake the ACT but when will all this shit be straightened out ?

There is no word. It's been "we hope to get him back for the next game" for the last 3 games. The NCAA is just dragging their ass on it. He's been enrolled since the Summer yet those bastards wait until right as the season is starting to raise an issue. A bullshit issue at that. They claimed his score was "unusually high" for a student with his other credentials as if its totally impossible that a student could have just had a great day that day and did well on that specific test. No one else had a problem with it. Tech administration (not the athletic department) is pretty strict on admitting students and saw no issue.

Wow yeah that's bullshit . Lots of people excel in standardized tests but don't apply thenselves day to day ( I know for sure , I'm one of them lol ).

He didn't even have a "great day." His score has been reported as a 27. I knew people in high school with terrible grades who scored 4-8 points higher than that. Maybe the NCAA has some good reason to think he cheated that they haven't released publicly, but if it's really just ACT versus GPA like is being reported, it's incredibly stupid.

Hell yes. Shit I had a decent gpa but got 34 on my ACT. No one batted an eye . When I was in 8th grade we took the ACT through the TAG program and a kid got a 32, by 10th grade he had dtopped out on HS lol

 

[rmilia1]

This is one of the better challenges in recent memory . 6 of the 8 games have been 2 possession ( or less ) games . 3 of them have cone down to the last shot, we've had an OT game , a couple upsets and it's all even going into the last night . Only 1 road win so far ( Nebraska ) so I expect 1 or 2 more tonight

 

[Hitman Hart]

damn, was hoping state would pull it out against the fightin @greatDayne s

hopefully Uva sticks their entire fist up Maryland's ass tonight

 

[Skerpokes]

Can Rutgers actually contribute something positive to the conference tonight?

 

[podsox]

I miss the holiday tournaments. It back to the refs playing to the home crowds.
