SEC/ACC Challenge Begins Tonight

[Volfan1000]

Which games interest the board besides Tennessee-North Carolina?

I am interested in the Arkansas and Kentucky games as well.

As Coach Barnes said in his North Carolina press conference, "This challenge makes sense because of the border lines between the states."

Really need the SEC to step up this week with some dominating wins. The conference has struggled early and that always impacts perception come March - resulting in underseeded teams. Texas A&M v. Virginia, Duke v. Arkansas are two good matchups.

 

[Putbacks]

Agree on those two. In fact, I think tomorrow night's matchups are more intriguing than tonight's. Can't wait to see how we respond to last week's results.

Ehhh I'd rather see UK lose tbh.

I'll be cheering against Kentucky, no matter what.

Would be quite surprised if the SEC wins this. A push (7-7) would be a win for the SEC

Not sure. Seems like the ACC has some favorable matchups on Wednesday night.

 

[The Dog]

Georgia Tech are going to beat undefeated Miss. St. and Syracuse (Mintz has 30+) are boat racing LSU

 

[The Dog]

Looks like the 'Cocks are going to beat Notre Dame, so 2-1 ACC, probably

Wish Kentucky would have given Sheppard the Chris Lofton treatment and not offered their hs Mr Basketball so we could have signed him. That young man is a player.

 

[PKT_VOL]

Really surprised with South Carolina. They were universally picked to finish last in the SEC.

They are currently undefeated and boatracing Notre Dame. SEC picks up an unexpected W.

Yep, been a fan of his for years. Honestly, if his dad hadn't been a legend at UK, he may not have gotten the offer, although Cal has been a little more generous with the instate kids, recently. They have a commitment from a kid from Lyon County named Travis Perry that is the state's all-time leading scorer. He might be an even better shooter than Reed, though Sheppard is a better all-around player and better athlete.

You take that back!

'Cats are destroying Miami, should tie the challenge at 2-2

SC was favored by 8 and a half at home. Notre Dame is not good

I’ve noticed you’ve been high on Sheppard. This is the first time I’ve seen the cats this year and I now understand why. We’re going to need to clone Mashack to guard all their scorers.

 

[PKT_VOL]

Might as well chalk Mizzou up for a win. Pitt can't hit the broad side of a barn.

 

[The Dog]

Mizzou beats Pitt, 3-2 SEC

A lot of our fans aren't going to like hearing it, but UK is going to be a problem, this year. They still have three 7-footers yet to get healthy. I said it earlier, but they could be the most talented and most complete UK team since the Wall/Cousins/Bledsoe group from 13 years ago.

They play a lot like that Bama team from a year ago.

Old Miss up 8 at the half.

They are better right now than they’ve been in years for coach cal. And I think it’s because they don’t have the 7 footers. It’s free flowing offense with guys that can get to the basket and make 3s. Cal seems to always play multiple 7 footers that are very limited offensively. They’re just athletic and tall and it bogs down the offense. I’ll be interested to see if the big men they have are more skilled than they’ve had up there over the past 5 years or so and the offense can continue to move like it is now. Their athleticism will be a major problem for us.
