I hope Maryland gets smacked. They have one of the most obnoxious fanbases on the internets.

That would be all the favored teams winning tonight. I think Purdue has a solid chance at beating FSU. I don't see Maryland beating Virginia even though they host them. Personally I think Michigan is going to stomp UNC tonight. We'll see

Well, they’re favorites for a reason and we don’t lose at home very much these days. I usually take home teams especially mid week and it works out.

 

[Kace-1]

I'm most interested in Virginia/Maryland. Not only due to both teams being undefeated and the guarantee that one will drop the other out of that conversation, but also Maryland being a charter ACC member and the rivalry history they had with Virginia back then.

 

[Iliketrees]

Agreed

Laughing at 247, I should've added. I've never seen your Rivals board but I can't believe how huge the 247 board is and it's filled with dipshits. They absolutely despise Wisconsin.

Our free board is dead there and somehow i still find 2 posts per day that make my eyes roll.

All love to @Noahtogo24 doe

I was impressed by how well we played last night against Iowa. We lost, but a freshmen-dominated team nearly beat a Top 15 team on the road. Already a huge improvement over last year.

UI kept hitting 3's the whole game and they needed everyone one of them.

Yup. It was the exact opposite of how I thought it’d go. I imagined them beating us inside into submission. We ended up winning the boards by one. Go figure.

Welp...

Pitt's young guards looked great. IMO that was Iowa's worst game of the year... they reverted back to last year's defense in the first half and Pitt killed them with dribble penetration. But credit Xavier Johnson, he's going to be good. I'm just glad Iowa won.. those are games they lost last year.

 

[ThriceHawk]

They only shot 12/31 from 3... So not sure I agree with that. But they did play more of an outside game than they should've... Pitt did a good job defending post feeds.

 

[Nole in Toronto]

FSU is beat crushing Purdue 44-32 at HT.

Sooo, I'm going to need the Powerball numbers for the next drawing dawg. What ya got?

 

[NoleKing]

All comes down to the final 15 seconds. FSU down by 1.

 

[ThriceHawk]

Refs royally screwed over Purdoodoo.

 

[NoleKing]

28 Straight Non-Conference Home wins for the Noles and The Big/ACC Challenge Splits!

 

[NoleKing]

Ohio State
Miami
Virginia
FSU
Northwestern
Michigan

Even Split tonight and an even split in the challenge.

So, flip the Ohio State and Miami games but the split remains the same.

 

[NolePhin15]

FSU carrying the ACC in hoops ho hum

 

[Boilermaker03]

This was hard to swallow. We lost the game because our 80% FT shooters kept missing and their 50% FT shooters were swishing their FT. Part of the game, but damn...

 

[NoleKing]

This is indeed a different timeline.

 

[Boilermaker03]

Refs royally screwed over Purdoodoo.

Even so, Purdue had two 80% FT shooters miss multiple chances to put the game away.

 

[Kronic22]

Some great games in the challenge. The one I thought would be the best turned out to be a dud. UNC/Mich.

 

[j-doolsheels]

I was impressed with NCSU, they have a nice stable of guards who can score. Them and VTech look good.

 

[speedfrk]

I’m still not sure how we managed to win that game. So many bad shots in the second half. Things just went our way at the end.

 

[Cornicator]

Am I the only one who is stunned by Rutgers beating Miami?

 

[superhusker33]

UI kept hitting 3's the whole game and they needed everyone one of them.

That's our game. We play like Golden State. That wasn't luck.

Funky things happen when opposing players come to the TLC Double C. I once watched JJ Reddick miss 7 straight free throws in a game there. Just be happy you guys play in the B1G. The ACC is a gauntlet.

Pretty sure that was Jay Williams.

Am I biased or was that a crappy officiated game?

So is the B1G. At least this year it is.

Hope you guys get more wins against the B1G than you have against the ACC

Could have been 2-0 vs them. Both fun games to watch though. We'll get better, just have too many new pieces that need developing.

And Purdue also could have been blownout.

This right here is a perfect example of a quality troll attempt! Tip my hat to you on this one.

I'll admit...so far Purdue seems a lot better then I ever thought they'd be...at least this early in the season. I figured towards the end of the year that it'd start to come together for them. But definatlly didn't think it would happen in the first month of the season.

I'm pretty sure JJ Redick never missed 7 straight free throws... Ever.
