Big Ten about to win its first ever Big Ten/ACC Challange!

As soon as Ohio St wraps up their game against Florida St, the Big Ten can claim bragging rights in the Big Ten/ACC Challange for the first time ever! Thanks to the sensational comeback by the Illini and a Wisconsin win over the "mighty" Coach K, good karma was on our side tonight! :D
 
I'll eat crow right now! I thought that Duke would pull it out but Wisky played a great game.

I don't think the B10 is ever in my camp... so I don't consider them to be on our side.

But congrats to the B10, long overdue. It IS a good conference and to be dominated for 11 seasons by the ACC didn't show how good the teams were.

Coach K is a great coach, as demonstrated recently by his Olympic gold medal. But his championship years at Duke seem to be a distant memory for now. Losing tonight will not disqualify him for a deep run in this year's NCAA tournament, but he hasn't done a lot lately in the postseason, so this loss does not shock me.

Well that's true in a way, but I despise the ACC far more than the Big Ten. Plus there are a couple of local teams I root for in the Big Ten so they are not all bad. I hate them quite a bit though when they get more tournament bids than they deserve, so that might not change this year. :D

But of course this year we will root for Illinois to win as much as possible to help pad our RPI. :D

Can you really coach that Olympic team? I feel if you put Lebron James, Kobe Bryant, Chris Paul, Deron Williams, and every other great player from the US on a court, mix that with a bad taste in their mouth from not getting the gold 4 years ago......a 5 year old could "coach" them

and also, don't worry...Duke will still get a 5 or up seed this year...not by talent but because they are Duke

Good for the B10, it's about time. Duke will get at least a 5 seed because at season's end they will probably have deserved it.
