Okay Day 3. Games on tap for tonight...

Michigan State @ Duke
Purdue @ Virginia Tech
North Carolina State @ Wisconsin
Indiana @ Boston College
Maryland @ Penn State

Big Ten needs 2 wins to win the challenge for the second year in a row.

Anyone else not impressed with wisconsin thus far? I feel like we could steal a game from them this year.

I'm watching the Purdue game right now. Virginia Tech looks pretty good although Purdue is still leading by 2.

Wisconsin is up 63-30 over NC St right now with 12 min left! I am impressed.

 

[burky247]

Nice comeback by Indiana in the second half. Only down 2 now

burky, this is a great thread, you are the man!

Va Tech should be a good team this year. This will be a big win if Purdue is able to pull it off.

 

[burky247]

Thanks Vintage. I was due.

Unfortunately my Direct TV went out. I know Wisconsin won and Indiana lost. That makes the total 5-3 now. Anyone have an update on Purdue?

 

[burky247]

AH...we have a signal again. Purdue/VA Tech in OT now.

In other news, UNI up 2 on ISU last I saw.

Purdue is going into OT, 51-51

Penn State held Maryland scoreless for about the first 5 minutes of game action...unfortunately I think they are shooting about 30% from the field and only lead by 2, 9-7, about halfway through the first half.

 

[ibahawkeye]

This OT game could be the deciding factor... I'm not sure MSU can beat duke or PSU can beat Maryland.

 

[burky247]

I agree Iba. We need Purdue to win or I think we will lose the challenge. Purdue up one with a little over a minute left.

What a night for basketball.... flipping back and forth between these ACC/Big Ten games and the ISU/UNI game. Quick update on that game, UNI up 50-47 with 4:30 left.

Huge jump ball for Purdue there...get the ball in and hit your foul shots Boilers!

 

[burky247]

57-55 Purdue. 3.3 seconds to go and Purdue has the ball. Looking good

 

[hawkfan2679]

Nice...B10 wins the challenge!

 

[ibahawkeye]

Big Ten Wins... just wish the Hawks could have contributed.

 

[burky247]

2 years in a row!!!!

 

[JHHawk]

I dont think it is a fluke. Big Ten bb is back...at least for these two years. Next year it might drop a bit..which gives the Hawks a chance!
