Nebraska is legit. I would say top-25 quality. Definitely a tourney team. Palmer and Copeland are awesome, Watson is good, and their depth is improved this year.

Huge win at Clemson.

Minnesota is a really dumb basketball team. I don't see a lot with them in terms of skill, but they do rebound (Murphy).

Richard Pitino is the worst coach in the B1G. Talk about a coach who gets less with more. At least have your players not half-assing it out there.

I was being far too kind in the first half. Pitino's squad is a mess.

 

[DZ83CK]

So the Challenge will be 1-1 after 2 ACC home games vs MN and Neb. I would like to think that bodes well for the B1G, but PSU and Rutgers are yet to lay their eggs and WF doesnt get a chance to for the ACC.

 

[DZ83CK]

Tonight in the Challenge, PSU vs VT (edge VT), IL @ ND (edge ND), MSU @ UL (edge MSU), Pitt @ Iowa (edge IA), NC St @ WI (toss-up), IU @ DU (edge DU). If the B1G gets 3 wins in these 6 games, that is about as good as it could get for the league today. 4-2 for the B1G seems improbable but possible, I would say 2-4 is more likely than 4-2.

 

[DZ83CK]

Of the 3 B1G underdogs tonight, I would say Illinois would have the best chance since they had a close game with the Zags, showing they can elevate their game, while ND has lost to Radford.

Penn State with the big win over #13 VaTech

Illinois game winning 3 rims out. Tough.
