BIG basketball looks a lot stronger than their football teams!

There are some good gridiron teams, but basketball in the B1G is really thriving right now.

[Chieftain2009]

Just like yesterday, the ACC started the day off with a bang, as Clemson downed Maryland 67-51. It wasn't a tight game throughout.

The Big Ten lead has now gone from 6-1 to 6-2. There are two really exciting games happening right now.

[Chieftain2009]

After a two point game at the half, Georgia Tech pulled away from Nebraska a little to claim a 75-64 victory.

[Chieftain2009]

The Big Ten holds on 6-5 after suffering losses in all their games on Wednesday.

That Indiana v FSU game was an excellent early season battle. I was part of the 2, 720 in attendance...socially distanced by about 8-10 ft from the person next to me.

Not too bad for our second game of the year. The team from Gainesville visits the Tucker Center on Saturday.

I think FSU, barring injury or Wuhan Coronavirus, will have another good year......

GO NOLES!!!

The 2,720 number is 25% capacity.
