ACC - Big Ten Challenge
- Thread starter Mr Magoo
- Start date
Purdue really bad down the stretch especially getting tied up..wtf...Painter isnt the best of coaches in these situations
Was a great ACC / B1G 10 Challenge and it's a shame Purdue blew it. Edwards played horrible in the last few minutes.
Well I did predict 7-7 several days ago. We won a couple I didn't expect but we really blew a few games. Michigan State, Ohio State & Purdue all let us down. Edwards looked mortal in the last minute or two with 2 crucial turnovers and missing 2 free throws. He was doing everything for Purdue most of the game but showed he is not perfect at the end. I felt very sorry for him. The BIG should remain as the top league in the country.
Would've been an auto-win for the Big Ten, they're absolutely awful. They 've already lost to Houston Baptist and they almost lost to Western Carolina this week, both of whom will be uncompetitive in one-big leagues. KenPom ranks them 280 and 318.
And Georgia Tech was losing by 28 at one point to Northwestern.
It's really going to get on my nerves if we keep losing recruits like Alvarado and Massoud to places like that.
Both really good schools and Wake has a beautiful campus and a former NCAA champ and NBA player as a coach to sell the program.
Pastner at Ga. Tech always reeked of shadiness, IMO. I have nothing to back it up with except a general observation and rumors.
At the end of the day, neither Alvarado nor Massoud wanted to be here over where they chose, so I’m ok with it. If Pikiell keeps finding players like Baker and Harper, the higher-regraded ones will start to come also.

Don't forget Mulcahy too. He must be so happy for RU's win. Next year we will have Paul and Jacob Young that will also be able to play point guard. Geo will be able to play the two very often. I can even see us playing 4 guards at one time every so often.
Both are fine academic institutions and have lovely campuses. I visited the GaTech campus earlier this month and was very impressed...
