ACC-BIG TEN CHALLENGE
Duke staves off Indiana
Hoosiers rally from 12-point halftime deficit but miss on chances to force overtime
Wednesday, November 29, 2006

</IMG> Duke?s Gerald Henderson blocks a shot by Indiana?s D.J. White.
No. 11 Duke 54, Indiana 51 ?
DeMarcus Nelson scored 19 points and Duke held on to beat Indiana 54-51 last night in Durham, N.C.
Freshman Jon Scheyer had 10 points for the Blue Devils (6-1), who remained the only unbeaten team in the eight-year history of the ACC-Big Ten Challenge.
Freshman Armon Bassett scored 16 points to lead the Hoosiers (3-2), who rallied from a 12-point halftime deficit.
Duke led 53-46 on a three-point basket from Scheyer with 5:01 left, but that was its last field goal. The Hoosiers cut the lead 53-51 on Bassett?s drive with 2:04 left.
After a free throw by Gerald Henderson, the Hoosiers had two late chances to tie it. On the first, Bassett airballed a threepointer that went out of bounds to Duke. But Errek Suhr stole Josh McRoberts? inbounds pass with 9.3 seconds left, giving the Hoosiers another possession. But Indiana, which had no timeouts left, managed only a leaning three-point try from Suhr that fell short of the rim as the horn sounded.
"Our offense put so much pressure on our defense that ... we have to play great defense or else we don?t win this game," Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said.
No. 23 Maryland 72, Illinois 66 ?
Mike Jones scored 19 points to help Maryland (8-0) beat Illinois (7-1) in Champaign, Ill., and end the Illini?s 51-game homecourt winning streak against nonconference opponents.
The Terrapins blew a 15-point lead before recovering to beat the Illini behind freshman Greivis Vasquez, who scored 15 of his 17 points in the second half.
Maryland played without 6-foot-9 Ekene Ibekwe, their strong shot blocker averaging 12 points and seven rebounds, because of an ankle injury.
Illinois, which last lost at home against a nonconference team in 1998, got 18 points from Shaun Pruitt.
The Illini, who whittled a 15-point first half-deficit to five by halftime, rallied to lead by five in the second half. But Vasquez led the Terps back with his scoring and floor play. His steal and layup with 1:22 to play put Maryland up 65-60.
After trailing 48-43 in the second half, Maryland grabbed the lead back when Jones and D.J. Strawberry made back-toback jumpers, making it 55-52 with 5:36 to go.
Illinois? Rich McBride tied it with a three-pointer, but Jones answered with one of his own.
Maryland then went up 63-58 on a layup and a free throw from Bambale Osby and two free throws from Vazquez.
Illinois? Trent Meacham made two free throws cut it to three with 1:59 to go before Vazquez made his key steal. Osby, who filled in for Ibekwe, made two free throws to give the Terps a 67-60 advantage with 43 seconds to play.
No. 12 Wisconsin 81, Florida St. 66 ?
Alando Tucker scored 22 points, including 18 after being poked in the eye, and Wisconsin (6-1) beat Florida State (4-2) in Madison, Wis.
The Badgers took advantage in a physical game by capitalizing on sloppy play by the Seminoles, who turned the ball over 21 times.
Wisconsin opened the game with nine straight points, but didn?t have its first double-digit advantage until Brian Butch tipped in Tucker?s desperation shot at the buzzer to give the Badgers a 34-23 lead at the half. Wisconsin took its largest lead at 55-35 off a three-pointer by Joe Krabbenhoft with 11:03 to play.
Tucker, the preseason Big Ten player of the year, was poked in the eye by Toney Douglas midway through the first half and crumpled at the baseline. When he returned from the locker room about four minutes later, he hit his first shot, a threepointer, to give Wisconsin a 24-17 lead.
No. 21 Georgia Tech 77, Penn State 73 ?
Lewis Clinch scored 20 points and Anthony Morrow?s two free throws with 8.2 seconds left sent Georgia Tech (6-1) over Penn State (4-2) in Atlanta.
The Yellow Jackets, coming off an 88-73 loss to now-No. 1 UCLA in the title game of the Maui Invitational last week, never put away Penn State after Jeremis Smith?s 5-foot shot gave them a 69-61 lead with 3:24 remaining.
Northwestern 61, University of Miami 59 ?
Craig Moore scored a career-high 24 points and Northwestern (4-2) survived a late surge to beat Miami (4-3) in Evanston, Ill.
Hurricanes coach Frank Haith was on the sideline in the wake of the death of his nephew Sean Bell, who was killed and two of his friends were wounded Saturday by New York police after Bell?s bachelor party at a strip club in Queens. Miami?s Jack McClinton tied a career high with 30 points.

My swing feels like an unfolding lawn chair.
Big11 got smoked again. You guys think we'll ever win this thing? I don't simply becuase we have the top two or three teams that can compete nationally but we don't have any depth. It's still a great event though IMO.

Watch out for Wiscy. Other than that, I agree!

Purdue 61, No. 25 Virginia 59 ?
Tarrance Crump drove to the basket and hit a floater with one second remaining to send Purdue past Virginia in the ACC-Big Ten Challenge last night in West Lafayette, Ind.
The Boilermakers (5-1) blew a nine-point lead midway through the second half and fell behind by five before getting consecutive three-pointers by Marcus Green, Chris Lutz and David Teague. The Cavaliers (4-1) tied the score for the final time at 59 on two free throws by Sean Singletary with 29 seconds left.

Iowa (2-4) lost its fourth straight. Adam Haluska led the Hawkeyes with 24 points.
The Hokies led 30-21 at halftime after outscoring the Hawkeyes 20-8 in the final 10 1 /2 minutes.

Looking back on this, I think the ACC got some favorable matchups and got quite a few of them at home.
I think that us and UNC is a wash and if it was played here it might of been a different story.
I wouldnt even say Indiana is a very good team and they gave Duke all they could handle in Cameron. If that is in IU they might pull it out.
The game that really hurt us was the NC St. and Maryland wins. If Michigan plays NCst at home I am sure they win and both Illinois and Maryland were without there best players, but it hurt Ill more b/c of the fact that he was more of a scorer.
If you look at pretty much all the games you see that it was the team with the home court that won all but the Maryland and Clemson games.
I am not saying we are the better conference, but if we could of got some favorable matchups at home and a game or two on the road that we could of stole it might of been a whole new ballgame. Overall every game was a pretty even match and was fun to watch.
