uva is a team that "earned" their ranking solely because of last year and this year's weak schedule. they're garbage.

Agreed. They lost more than anybody not named Kentucky, and didn't bring in a top recruiting class to help patch over the losses. They had a phenomenal offense last year with Jerome scoring and creating, and Guy and Hunter both playing off him and shooting extremely well. Then the rest of the offense being role players was perfect. Now the whole offense is role players, nobody can create a shot and basically no one really wants to shoot. Play8ng at Purdue is very difficult, but the Cavaliers are still a dumpster fire of an offensive team.

Maryland up 19
Purdue up 21
Nebr down 9

assuming nebraska doesn't pull closer, only 1 of the 11 games will have been decided by single digits.

Purdue is making UVa look like they wont score 35 this game.

They ended up with 40. BTW, it was really easy to buy off of them when they looked so trashy. That was Purdue domination from start to finish.

Maryland looks like it'll be a cast iron bitch to play against....

Let's hope for an OSU win in a thriller. UW-NC St also is expected to be fairly close - they played a 4-point game in Madison last season.

They are good, but the key against them is always PG play and turnovers. If you can force turnovers defensively and have a true floor leader, they aren't nearly as tough to beat.

Maryland routed Notre Dame to help give the B1G the lead in the ACC-Big Ten Challenge, just like the founders envisioned 20 years ago.

Badgers down late

Penn State up huge on Wake. Looking like 7-6 in the Challenge.

Up to the Bucks to secure the win

I feel dirty rooting for the Pedsters.
