Pretty, pretty, pretty good start for Iowa and the Big Ten

Or not so much.  21 point lead against Virginia offense should be totally safe

Phew

Virginia is kind of surprisingly crappy

I think Illinois has my favorite basketball fans in the conference, while Purdue has my least favorite.

Any prognosis on how the challenge works out this year?

The ACC is very bad by their standards.  After the Big Ten's poor showing in the Gavett Games, we need to do well here for the sake of the NET ratings of our bubble teams.

FSU star PG is missing tonight's game to attend his brother's funeral. Sad for him [obviously], and obviously not good for the Noles.

Their starting center is out injured, and his backup is also out injured. 

So they're down two starters and their depth in the paint is going to be very limited.

Not a good recipe for facing Purdue, at Mackey.

Indiana trying to as well.

I was not expecting these two teams to combine for 222 points

A good way to upset Duke is to turn it over a lot and miss your FTs.

Late tipoffs and sloppy play lead to a great motto for this Buckeye basketball team:

Go to bed angry.

Somehow only down 53-47 now, despite going 3/12 from the line.
