[HoosierAloha 30,100]

The B1G has looked a bit down so far this season while the ACC is looking strong. Who wins? What games are you looking forward to besides UNC/IU?

Lol. I think I predicted every home team. Yep, I did. College Basketball strikes again. I'm sure there'll be some home upsets and we could be one but home teams have such a big advantage.

Meetings thus far between ACC/B1G. Not looking good for B1G.

From ESPN

Virginia beat Iowa 74-41.

Duke beat Penn State 78-68.

North Carolina beat Wisconsin 71-56.

Notre Dame beat Northwestern 70-66.

Florida State beat Illinois 72-61.

Virginia Tech beat Nebraska 66-53.

The ACC hasn't won the Challenge since 2008, which marked the last of its 10 straight victories to start the event. The Big Ten has won the past two seasons after the leagues tied in 2012 and 2013.

Iowa is a Peter Jok twisted ankle away from being...Rutgers.

So true. Jok is impressive. Luckily he's stranded on that roster.

Tyler Cook will be a good player.

It almost seems like ESPN is trying to sway this thing in the ACC's favor, don't you think. Helps that the ACC gets to hide their 'red-headed step-child' while da Rut or whoever finishes last in the B1G still has to compete in this.

I honestly have no idea why I picked Rutgers it was just my initial reaction and one I expect to get wrong. Lol

[OliviaPope40 7,189]

Should be a fun 3 nights with all of these games. When I get home tomorrow and since I am off Wednesday I'll have take a nap.

I'm surprised Minny has kept it close so far. I still expect FSU to win by 10+

[WayneFleekHoosier 50,073]

Hard to root for little Purdue Person, but it's the challenge, and I'm rooting for all B1G teams.

Does that mean I have to root for OSU as well?

FSU wins as expected.. NW down by 1 or 2 at half. Need NW to hold serve.

Macintosh coming alive in the second half. Everyone I watch NW it seems like the announcers are talking about him being in a slump.

Every time I watch northwestern and it's a close game, macintosh turns it over. Glad to see him take over this game against Crawford.

Macintosh heating up coming down the stretch. It would be good for the B1G's chances for NW to get a win here.

[Uspshoosier 51,474]

Butler with a nice road win at Utah
