Big Ten-ACC Challenge Late Game Open Thread

In case anyone is staying up to watch Ohio State and Wisconsin try to get the Big Ten to 6 wins and wants to chat about it.

How 'bout that Illini comeback?  And that Wolverine stinkbomb?

This is a FanPost, written by a member of the TOC community. It does not represent the official positions of The Only Colors, Inc.--largely because we have no official positions.

Illini

Back from 23 down in the 2nd half. Wish I’d seen it.

I flipped to BC-Mich

Then glanced at the score on ESPN.com, thought it was a typo, and went back to it.

Wisconsin leading Duke by 6 at the half

OSU-FSU flirting with PSU-Illinois territory from last year.

by SpartanDan on Dec 2, 2009 9:10 PM CST reply actions  

FSU

9 turnovers and 6 field goals

by Con-T on Dec 2, 2009 9:16 PM CST reply actions  

Man, FSU looks as incompetent an offense as I’ve ever seen a major-conference team.

by SpartanDan on Dec 2, 2009 9:20 PM CST reply actions  

OSU up 11 at the half

If both of these hold up, we have ourselves a win.

Difficult to watch

I hate both teams so much, but it’s still so hard to root for Wisconsin in this game. I find myself wincing before cheering when they make a shot. Hopw they can keep it up though.

Know the feeling

I grew up in the Land of 10,000 Lakes. Trained from birth to consider the Badgers a mortal enemy. But if it finally gets dolts nationwide to stop with the “hur hur why do they call it a challenge?” crap, I’m all for it.

by SpartanDan on Dec 2, 2009 9:54 PM CST up reply actions  

Duke is getting very lucky

But Hughes is keeping the Badgers ahead.

by Con-T on Dec 2, 2009 9:34 PM CST reply actions  

Buckeyes pulling away

48-32 at the moment. Wisconsin up 8, 3 minutes left.

ESPN

Stop trying to jinx our conference! Thanx.

by AlkalineKidAP on Dec 2, 2009 10:05 PM CST reply actions  

I've got a bad feeling

Duke on 11-2 run in about 1:30

by Con-T on Dec 2, 2009 10:08 PM CST reply actions  

I'm pretty sure this is the first time in my life . . .

. . . that I’ve actively rooted for the Wisconsin basketball team.

Is it just me, or ...

is that the second time this game Duke has gotten away with an up-and-down?

by SpartanDan on Dec 2, 2009 10:15 PM CST reply actions  

Heeeeeeey the Big Ten won!

No thanks to us, but we’ve done our part in the past, I guess.

Ohio State

Is not exactly slamming the door, but it still looks safe.

by Con-T on Dec 2, 2009 10:27 PM CST reply actions  

I'm shocked

that the year the Big Ten finally breaks through and wins the challenge, one of the wins was not from our Spartans. That must be a great sign for the Big Ten as a whole. I am highly doubting anyone wins this league by four games again for a long time.
