ACC-Big Ten Challenge notes
After two nights, it appears at first glance that the Big Ten has a decent chance to win the ACC-Big Ten Challenge for the first time ever.
But despite the 3-3 score so far in the 10th year of the made-for-ESPN basketball event, the Big Ten has little margin for error with the final five games of the challenge to be played Wednesday night.
No. 1 North Carolina is so good that even Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said Tuesday night that the Tar Heels’ outstanding veterans put them on a higher level from the rest of the teams in the nation.
Whether Tyler Hansbrough plays or not, North Carolina will be an overwhelming favorite against Michigan State in Detroit with Spartans forward Goran Suton ailing.
Wake Forest also is unlikely to lose at home to an Indiana team decimated by defections following NCAA rules violations by former coach Kelvin Sampson.
If those two games are in the ACC win column, the Big Ten would need to win the other three tonight to eke out a 6-5 overall win in the Challenge. Two of those games are on ACC home floors – Michigan at Maryland and Penn State at Georgia Tech.
The other has Florida State at Northwestern, which traditionally is one of the Big Ten’s weakest teams. If you’re the ACC, you have to like your odds going into tonight.
・No. 4-ranked Duke’s 49-29 rebounding advantage in a 76-60 defeat of ninth-ranked Purdue was a surprise Tuesday night.
“They really get on top of you and grab the ball; they’re tough,” said Purdue sophomore Robbie Hummel.
No doubt Kzyzewski would consider that a compliment after his undersized team has relied more on grace than power in recent years.
・Clemson will enter ACC play with plenty of experience in close games.
The Tigers edged Illinois 76-74 on Tuesday to improve to 8-0. They also own wins by one point over Charlotte and four points over Temple.
Free throw shooting, a huge problem in past seasons for Clemson, hadn’t been much of an issue for the Tigers this season until Tuesday. They shot just 6-for-13 from the foul line at Illinois.
Even though Clemson’s tradition wouldn’t seem to indicate that the school would be one of the ACC’s top performers against the Big Ten, the Tigers have won five in a row in the Challenge.

congrats on paying attention
Thu, 12/04/2008 - 08:42 — gvillegatrcongrats on paying attention over the last year. I actually assumed you did know but tell me how ECU can "qualify" for the Challenge when they are not even in the conference?
They cant.
Thu, 12/04/2008 - 20:41 — noneyabusinessYou should put more effort into rooting for your own school, and less into trying to hang onto the babyblue bandwagon. Especially if it is just to get a rise out of some random people on a message board.
There is no shame in being a pirate! Many of my friends went there, and I always had a blast visiting Gvegas.
huh???
Wed, 12/03/2008 - 22:25 — gvillegatrjust out of curiosity, tell me who my school is.
A generous guess is ECU.
Thu, 12/04/2008 - 07:37 — noneyabusinessA generous guess is ECU. But, to be honest I am leaning towards little Washington HS.
hard to see the ACC this
Wed, 12/03/2008 - 09:39 — gvillegatrhard to see the ACC this evening lose more than one game. we'd be up 4-2 if it was not for McClinton and his temper.
what have the NCSU fans been doing during the ACC/Big Televen Challenge?
41-10
Wed, 12/03/2008 - 10:15 — noneyabusinessI watched the 41-10 beat down at Carter-Finley West again.
poor baby!
Wed, 12/03/2008 - 10:29 — gvillegatrgood to know, b/c you were not and will not be watching NCSU play in the ACC/Big Televen Challenge.
how embarassing is it to know that only one team could not qualify for this challenge!! I guess it was embarassing enough to say you watched the UNC/NCSU game again! b/c we all know you did not watch it again!
zing
Wed, 12/03/2008 - 12:21 — noneyabusinessUnfortunately, your school did not qualify for the challenge either.
