After two days, the ACC/B1G Challenge is all tied up at 4-4.
Still a tight challenge, as the ACC takes a one game lead after the 7 o’clock hour games.
The ACC/B1G Challenge ends in a 7-7 tie. A few takeaways from this:
Syracuse can play some dynamite defense with their length, both in the post and on the perimeter. OSU will have to learn how to play against length like Cuse has.
Michigan and Duke are both the real deal!
Rutgers seems to be improved, but only time will tell on that one.
Northwestern wasn’t a one trick pony, looking like their here to stay.
Louisville is a team that is on the rise quickly with Chris Mack as their coach.
Penn State might win some games this year. Along with Nebraska, who will have a real shot at the NCAA tourney.
