So, initial predictions on the ACC/Big Ten Challenge? I think this is finally the time for the B10 to shine.

 

I'm no expert on the ACC, but here goes my early picks:

 

Virgina @ MINN: Gophers

Iowa @ WF: Wake Forest (I hope no one has to watch this one)

GT @ NW: Northwestern

OSU @ FSU: Buckeyes (they already have one big road win in Florida)

Michigan @ Clemson: Clemson

UNC @ Illinois: Illinois (great matchup, home court gives Illini the edge, plus I'm a homer)

Indiana @ BC: Boston College (not sure how good/bad they are, give it to them at home)

NC State @ Wisconsin: Badgers

Purdue @ Va Tech: Purdue (Find out of they are real w/o Hummel)

Maryland @ Penn State: Maryland

MSU @ Duke: Duke (Toss-up)

 

That would put it at 6-5 Big Ten again. Most of them seem to be pretty close matchups overall, so a few could go either way. Again, I don't know all that much about the ACC, so I may be giving some of these teams too much/little credit.

Iowa lost at home to South Dakota State.

Wow, I'm a huge Iowa fan but they will not beat Wake Forest. Iowa's new coach seems solid but they just don't have much talent at all.

Preseason NIT it looking pitiful. Villanova, UCLA, Tennessee, and Wake were the 1, 2, 3, and 4 seeds respectively.

 

Wake got blown out in their regional final to 5 seed VCU, who advanced to New York. UT struggled a ton with Belmont in the regional semi. I'm guessing they should fall to 6 seed Missouri State before New York. ESPN probably wants to kill someone if that happens.

At least VCU has some national exposure. They've had some decent teams in the past few years and a couple players in Maynor and Sanders. It also gives the remaining field a good underdog to root for at the Garden.
