OT: Big Ten/ACC Challenge

Postby OhioBrownFan » Tue Dec 03, 2013 7:59 pm

Anyone watching this? Indiana/Cuse are really going at it. Both teams looking good and just battling everything. I expected this to be a game that Cuse handled with quite a bit of ease, but Williams and Vonleh are really getting after it for IU. Love Williams game, going to be a top pick in the draft one day. Can't teach that freakish athleticism he's got. Wasn't highly touted but he looks like a mirror image of Oladipo. Yogi is stickin it from deep.

Gonna try to watch Iowa/ND tonight, haven't caught Iowa yet this year and would like to see how that team has developed. Duke/Mich should also be a good match-up. Two very good teams with very different strengths. Michigan bigs vs Duke guards.

OMFG, Troy Williams just got up and wow....he's a freak. Threw down a dunk over two guys off a missed shot, went up and over the top. He will be a top 10 pick at some point. Unreal for a freshman. Just raw athleticism, if basketball skill would have been just a bit developed in high school, he would've been in the top 20 in the nation no problem.

Yes, I'm watching it. Very entertaining game. I so wish we'd had the chance to play Syracuse in conference.

btw, we have an " other games" thread. I just started a new one today.

My b, didn't even look or think about it. Just was getting amped up over this game and posted. The Illinois/GT game is looking pretty good too. I like GT's team, nice squad and could sneak up on teams in the ACC this year.

I am headed to watch the UNC/Sparty game tomorrow with a bunch of Carolina fans. It just so happens that the sports bar we are headed to is both the UNC & Sparty bar. Could get ugly.

GT I assume you're referring to? I almost bought tickets down there in the lower bowl, not that expensive. Wanted them for when I'm down in Atlanta with clients. They did a beautiful job with their renovation. I like Assembly too, Illinois and Iowa have pretty cool stadiums as well, basically just one bowl, not a bad seat in either of those places.

On another note, I'm wondering if Groce and the Ilini are going to hold them off here. This is pathetic.

And that UNC note is hilarious Harry. I would love to be up there but I don't want to miss the Bucks game, I've only been to one OSU bball game this year so far. Too busy with football on the weekends. scUM was an awesome atmosphere Saturday, one of the few times I can remember not getting a bunch of [deleted]. I love it when those guys suck. Go Dukies

Nothing wrong with posting a thread for this. The Big 12 / ACC challenge is one of the colleges best series of match-ups.

Right? The Hollins man. Those two are good, was surprised they stuck around this year. I'm still shocked Illinois got beat, that was awful coaching down the stretch from Groce and he's a fine coach.

Iowa/ND is a track meet, didn't see that coming. I figured ND would try to slow it down, usually the way Brey likes to play. ND might be the most unathletic preseason Top 25 team I've ever seen. Grant/Adkins are both mildly athletic and that's it. I went to South Bend for the Indiana State game and I swear, if they didn't have jerseys on, you wouldn't have known what team was a top 25 if you were going by athleticism.

I definitely want to be there for a few. Would like to be at the Louisville game and a few others. Depends on what the work schedule allows. It will be busy season for me (public acc). I actually may be on a few clients down in Dallas, so we'll have to see. Any reason?

No, was just hoping that you would be able to catch the team in person at the new place. Love having non-alum fans contributing.

Anytime I can catch a good game, I'm usually in. I got season tickets so I'll be at more than 1, just don't know what games.
