Without giving it too much thought, I think that this challenge favorites the Big Ten by a very thin margin and I think that we will :bonk: Duke just like the last time we played them only by a much bigger margin.

? Long-time collegiate basketball official Ed Hightower, who recently slept in a recliner for seven weeks while recovering from rotator cuff surgery, has cut his work load under 60 games and says he'll retire within the next two years. He is part of the old guard that is being replaced by younger refs.

Showtime will be doing less games this year, I know everyone is upset about this :tongue2:

Wow. What a shame. I dislike Minnesota basketball almost as much as I do TSUN football (and have MUCH less respect for them than I do TSUN), but my heart goes out to Trevor. He's a hell of a competitor and a great basketball player. Sully even said preseason that [paraphrasing] he's the hardest guy that's ever guarded him. Best of luck to Trevor.
