Well another ACC – Big 10 Challenge is over and it’s another win for the ACC. This is the 10th year of the Challenge and the ACC has won all 10. With the ACC making the stupid decision to add new schools to benefit football (who cares about ACC football) and ruining their basketball in the process you would figure the Big 10 would have a chance but apparently not. Of the new ACC schools Boston College was the only one to won their game. In the end it didn’t matter because the Big 10 is horrible as usual.
Susan and I watched the Wake – Indiana game last night and it looked like a Harlem Globe Trotters game. One of Wake’s biggest problems was they kept having so many people open for the ally oops that they kept having more than one person trying to grab the ball. It was like Indiana wasn’t even there on defence. Susan decided that Indiana’s point guard thought he got points for dribbling because he just ran around all night with the ball and their shooting guard kept shooting from about half court for no reason and missing but the coach couldn’t take him out because there was no other options. Needless to say Susan was frustrated.
Then came the Carolina game…if you want to call it that. Michigan State is suppose to be one of the best teams in the Big 10 and ranked 16 nationally. The headline I saw on ESPN this morning says it all:
Hansbrough’s 23 help North Carolina embarrass Michigan State
The game wasn’t even close, Carolina won 98 – 63.
The one game that I did want the Big 10 to win was the Duke – Purdue game, but Duke didn’t have much trouble beating them. This ACC – Big 10 challenge has to be getting embarrassing for all you Big 10 fans out there.
