[Buffalo43]

[DewHawk]

Gophers are getting kicked now.

 

[hooper56]

Gophers not very competitive in this one. Lacking shooters.

 

[Buffalo43]

Hey just happy i got replies thanks guys

 

[Buffalo43]

I agree not sure about Gophers with their players good players

 

[Buffalo43]

Onto Pitt and Northwestern lets tie it up!

 

[Bishop1971]

I think the big ten takes this challenge but no faith in Northwestern

I didn't realize this is the last year of the B1G/ACC challenge. What was the reason for canceling it?

ESPN will have no TV rights to Big Ten basketball games starting next season, so it opts to start an ACC/SEC challenge instead.

NW down to Pitt by 9 at half.
Not a promising start for Big Ten.

 

[CookyMonster]

Damn i stopped watching the nw game and they are up, came back to look at the score and they lose by 30 lol. Collins and Fitzgerald really struggling.

They put 2 of the 3 worst teams in the league on opening night. Tonight the Big Ten will be favored in 5 of the 6 games. And the one they will be underdogs is Virginia @ Michigan which wouldn't shock me at all if there's an upset there.

Damn, that really sucks. I forgot about the ESPN/B1G drama.

I’d be shocked by that … Michigan looks awful, and UVA is one of the best teams I’ve seen so far.

Michigan has some talent but no one to run the show. They might get it together as the season goes on but yeah…UVA is an experienced, polished product right now.

Make it OUR challenge, not bleepin ESPN.

The ACC & B1G can use who we want to broadcast the games. Pickup CBS or whoever to televise.

Screw ESPN

Tried to like this twice but it's not an available option....

Agreed in principle but the ACC has already agreed to be in a new ACC/SEC Challenge going forward. B1G linking a deal with the Big 12 could work across the Fox family of networks, even a marquee matchup on CBS like a Michigan vs Kansas.

But those conferences will eventually be an uneven 16 teams vs 12, for now.

 

[KuwaitHawk]

What other conference can we get for a challenge?

 

[Buffalo43]

Illinois will destroy the Cuse

 

[Fsanford]

What other conference can we get for a challenge?

Big 12, since they no longer will play SEC. You would think Fox would set it up.

 

[CookyMonster]

Mo valley

[HoustonREDHawk]

Not sure what happened to Louisville, but as slimy as that program has been, they deserve to suck for a couple of decades.

 

[HawkRugged17]

Penn State hits a 3 with 5 seconds to go to tie Clemson (who didn't foul) at 71. It's overtime!
