will this be 3 or 4 straight years bigten wins the BigTen/ACC challenge? i think its almost a sure thing that our conference brings it home again this year BIgTen is much deeper than the ACC.
Gotta be honest I don’t see the IU UNC game being very good. I think we are head and shoulders better than them. I know they have McAdoo who is a sure fire all american but all around we have more talent and athleticism. The biggest factor is that its in Assembly Hall. The freshmen that UNC will have to play will not be ready for that environment.

Wow, that is gutsy! Putting a game on an aircraft carrier halfway up the Atlantic coastline in November… I wonder what the hurricane contingency plan is.

In reply to VerdellJonesIV. Kelly doesnt play in the middle. He's more of a stretch 4 or big 3.

Anyone else a little agitated that there is no true road game OOC scheduled for the Hoosiers?

Even it is guaranteed, UCLA may no longer be an elite team due to the eligibility issues with their 3 freshmen stars.

So many great games..so little time. Anybody aware of any major rule changes for the zebra’s to dissect that might impact the competition this year?

I didn’t realize that Kansas already had Michigan State and Ohio State on their schedule. If they were the ones reluctant to play a series with IU I guess I can understand their position. If you’re the KU athletic director though the conference alignment turmoil has got to make you uncomfortable.

In reply to VerdellJonesIV. In fact, they gain another Plumlee (Marshall, who's 6' 11") so Duke has multiple Plumlees again in the frontcourt

I’m not sure if I am reading that wrong or if it’s just a small error, but Duke only lost Miles Plumlee. Miles was coming off the bench most of the season backing up his brother Mason so I don’t really think they will have a vulnerable front court with Mason Plumlee and Ryan Kelly in the middle.
