Big 10/ACC Challenge Recap Part II
Virginia Tech 70, Iowa 64
Not much to say about this one. It's possible Malcolm Delaney and Virginia Tech could be a middle-of-the-pack ACC team, but doesn't appear likely at this point. Iowa will be lucky not to finish last in the Big 10 the way they're playing right now.
Illinois 76, Clemson 74
One of the two real surprise outcomes of the challenge. Illinois showed alot of toughness and poise to make that incredible comeback in the 2nd half, and it will serve them well for the rest of the season. Clemson looks like they still aren't ready to get over the hump, and will likely yet again be a first week casualty in the NCAA tournament.
Boston College 62, Michigan 58
This is the other big surprise. Michigan has been a huge disappointment so far, with 3 straight losses to teams not projected to make the NCAA field at the start of the year. BC has road wins over Providence and Michigan, but they also have losses to St. Joseph's and Northern Iowa. Just like last year, their fate will be decided in ACC play.
Miami 63, Minnesota 58
Miami has been one of the surprises of the early season, defeating South Carolina and Minnesota en route to an 8-0 start. The Hurricanes will likely enter ACC play undefeated, as the rest of the non-conference schedule is cupcake city. The difficult part of Minnesota's non-conference schedule is over, but they only managed a 1-3 record against potential tournament teams. They'll have to get the job done in Big 10 play if they want to make the big dance.
Wisconsin 73, Duke 69
The Badgers picked up the biggest win of anyone in this challenge. The Badgers already have victories over Duke, Maryland, and Arizona, and that takes alot of pressure off of them entering Big 10 play. Duke is still one of the frontrunners in the ACC, but they have a long way to go if they want to get past the Sweet 16 for the first time since 2004.
Ohio State 77, Florida State 64
The Buckeyes are establishing themselves as the 3rd best team in the Big 10, and should compete for a top 4 seed. Florida State has been a head-scratching team so far. They've looked terrible in road losses to Florida and Ohio State, yet they managed to win the Old Spice Classic in Orlando. They'll be a team to watch in conference play, as they could realistically finish anywhere from 3rd to 9th in the ACC.

Big 10/ACC Challenge Recap Part I
Penn State 69, Virginia 66
Neither of these teams are likely to compete for an at-large bid, but I guess you can't count out Penn State while Talor Battle's still on the team. The Nittany Lions likely picked up a top 100 road win, which never hurts, but they probably need to win the rest of their non-conference games to be on the at-large radar when Big 10 play starts.
Purdue 69, Wake Forest 58
Another solid win for Purdue. Right now they look like the team to beat in the Big 10 and a legitimate contender for the Final Four. Wake Forest has the pieces to be an NCAA team, but that loss to William & Mary could come back to bite them if they do happen to end up on the bubble in March.
Northwestern 65, NC State 53
This is Northwestern's third straight road/neutral win against a power conference opponent. With Stanford being the lone non-cupcake left on their non-conference schedule, the Wildcats could easily be 10-1 entering Big 10 play. NC State, meanwhile, blew a great chance at a quality non-conference win. Upcoming road games against Marquette and Arizona later this month will tell whether or not NC State can compete for an at-large bid this year.
Maryland 80, Indiana 68
This game was back-and-forth until Maryland pulled away in the final minutes and avoided a damaging loss. The Terps have been underwhelming so far this year, but will likely still make the NCAA tournament. Indiana, on the other hand, is still a year or two away from seriously competing for a bid.
North Carolina 89, Michigan State 82
A very nice win for the Tar Heels, who still have all the pieces in place for another deep run in March. The Spartans are yet again off to a disappointing start after having a Top 10 preseason ranking. Given the way the game played out and the fact that it was played in Chapel Hill, Michigan State is probably the better team and would win most of the time if the game was on a neutral court. Whether or not that's still the case at the end of the year is anyone's guess.

Feast Week Winners and Losers
With the conclusion of the early season tournaments, college basketball is finally in full swing. There were some marquee matchups this week, but this post will focus on how the potential bubble teams fared. Here's a summary of which teams boosted their profiles this week, and which teams suffered major setbacks.
Winners
Portland: I'll admit the Pilots were not on my at-large radar entering the season, but it's impossible to ignore them now after blowing out UCLA and beating Minnesota. The WCC definitely looks like a multi-bid league at this point after the conference's strong OOC performance, and right now Portland looks to be in good shape for an at-large bid.
Florida: nobody picked up a bigger win than the Gators this week, knocking off Michigan State in Atlantic City en route to winning the Legends Classic. That win will be huge in March if Florida does happen to end up on the bubble.
Richmond: the Spiders more than made up for the early season loss to William & Mary by defeating Mississippi State and Missouri to win the South Padre Island Invitational. Their next 4 games (Old Dominion, @VCU, @South Carolina, @Florida) will go a long way towards determining their at-large chances.
Gonzaga: after winning the Maui Invitational and taking Michigan State to the wire, Gonzaga has once again gotten off to a strong start. Traditionally though, the Zags have been unable to back that up with success in March. Will this year be any different?
Cincinnati: the Bearcats were squarely on the bubble going into the Maui Invitational. Now that they picked up neutral court wins over Vanderbilt and Maryland, Cincinnati is in great position to make the NCAA tournament with a decent showing in conference.
Wisconsin: the Badgers picked up two big wins against fellow bubble teams Arizona and Maryland. If they end up on the bubble in March, those wins should help keep them in the field.
Marquette: the Golden Eagles nearly won the Old Spice Classic, beating Xavier and Michigan before losing to Florida State by 1. It was supposed to be a rebuilding year for Marquette, but they look like a team plenty capable of making the NCAAs.
Florida State: FSU made up for the blowout loss against Florida by winning the Old Spice Classic. While they didn't pick up any marquee wins, neutral court victories against fellow bubble teams Alabama and Marquette definitely help the Seminole's at-large hopes.
UNLV: for the 2nd year in a row UNLV picks up a marquee win against Louisville. Will they be able to build on it and make the big dance this time around?
San Diego: the Toreros picked up wins over Oklahoma and Houston. Despite the blowout loss to Washington State in the Championship, San Diego has a chance at an at-large bid if they do well in WCC play.
Alabama: they weren't really on my radar either at the beginning of the year, but the Crimson Tide are definitely in the at-large discussion now after beating Baylor and Michigan.
Northwestern: the quest for their first NCAA bid in school history is still on track after defeating Notre Dame and Iowa State. If they can beat NC State this week, the Wildcats should be 10-1 heading into Big 10 play.
Losers
Arizona: the Wildcats had second half leads against Wisconsin and Vanderbilt, but didn't manage to win either of them. As bad as the Pac-10 has been so far, the Wildcats don't have too many more chances to pick up quality wins and impress the committee.
Maryland: I thought Maryland was a sleeper this year in the ACC, but the Terps did not look good at all in losses against Wisconsin and Cincinnati. Hopefully they remember how they got to the NCAAs last year and start playing hard again.
Notre Dame: the Irish had a great chance to pick up some wins against fellow bubble teams this week, but
lost to Northwestern and had to settle for a win against St. Louis.
Illinois: a bad week for the Illini, who lost back-to-back games against Utah and Bradley, both of which are unlikely to compete for an NCAA bid this year.
Creighton: I never would have picked the Blue Jays to go 0-3 at the Old Spice Classic, but they did just that, including losing to Iona on the final day. Unless they dominate the MVC, Creighton likely has little chance at an at-large bid now.
UCLA: The same goes for the Bruins. With just a 2-4 record and losses to CSU-Fullerton and Long Beach State, UCLA needs to turn it around in a hurry if they want to have any chance at an NCAA bid.
Mississippi State: a poor start to the season for MSU, losing to Rider and now losing to Richmond in the South Padre semis. They somewhat made up for it with a good win against Old Dominion, keeping them in the NCAA hunt for now.
Wake Forest: the Deacons lost at home to William & Mary on Saturday night. W&M may not be that bad a team since they've also beaten Richmond, but for now it's enough to bump Wake Forest out of the tournament field.
Siena: an underwhelming start so far for the Saints, losing to Temple and St. John's. Siena needs to at least split their road games against Georgia Tech and Northern Iowa, then dominate the MAAC if they want a good seed in March.
Oklahoma: no team has been more surprisingly bad so far this year than the Sooners. They are 3-3 with losses to VCU, San Diego, and Houston, and trailed in the 2nd half against Nicholls State before finally waking up and winning by 21. Oklahoma better run the table in their next 4 games (Arkansas, Arizona, Centenary, @Utah) or they could end up in a situation similar to Kentucky 2 years ago where they have to win 10 or more conference games just to get back into the NCAA discussion.
