ACC/Big Ten challenge

Well at least it was not a blow out. ACC wins 6 top 5, but two games easily could have swung it to 7-4 Big 10 as Illinois and Iowa just fell short. One thing that I came away with is our middle tier teams are going to be able to compete and the Big Ten will be a dog fight this year. Of course MSU just got hammered by North Carolina and proves my contention that Michigan St. is overrated. Duke beats Purdue on their home floor and proves the upper Big Ten teams are not at this point going to do much in the National spotlight. next year the Big ten should be real strong and should win there first Big Ten/ACC challenge.

Kudos to Ohio St. on an outstanding victory. Throw is PSU, Northwestern and Minnesota's wins and it really gave the Big Ten the boost in the challenge. This will bode well for the Big Ten come tournament selection time.

With early games in I will go on record as saying the winner of the regular season will only have 13 wins and we could end up with co-champs this year and a separate winner in the Big Ten tournament.
