ACC/Big10(11) Challenge Thread - 2010 edition

Minn has looked as bad as UVA has looked good this half. And UVA looks really good (when they cant miss a shot at any rate).

[dukebluelemur]

No call on what looked like a pretty blatant offensive goal tending by the gophers.

[OldPhiKap]

That walk call was bogus, too. Refs are caught up in the home crowd.

That NC State game that we lost last year comes to mind as Im watching this game. I feel like UVA is just having one of those games (or halves) when Minnesota has no business losing this game.

I can't complain though, the ACC might have a 1-0 lead!!

[JasonEvans]

Lead now down to 7 with 2:15 left. Hit FTs and I think Virginia will do it.

UVA up 8 points with two minutes to go. Only Maryland could lose this game. GO VIRGINIA!!

And that was a home game for NC State.

The Cavs are doing this in enemy territory. Wow.

The Cavs are getting crushed on the boards

Huge And-One there for Mike Scott, who has been a beast. UVA by 9, 1:28 to go.

[jipops]

Wow, Sampson Jr. looks just like his Dad.

[SilkyJ]

whoa! switched over the 9ers game (I know, its practically a HS game, but I'm a 9ers fan...) but switching back now...

UVA up 8 with 1:13 left. MN at the line...

UVA > UNC or so it seems

Quite a performance by UVA. The Barn is one tough place to get a win, and Tubby's crew is pretty good.

Free throws are having a huge impact on both sides of the court here. What an awesome way to start the challenge, VA knocking off top 20 Minnesota on their home court. And "Minnesota is the real deal". I know this because I've read it on InsideKerlina many, many, many times in the last week.

Keep hitting those free throws guys...

Quick check of the box score shows Virginia shooting 10-14 from 3. Not bad.

[Bluedevil114]

Way to go virginia!! Acc is up 1-0. Lets go acc all but unc!

[Duke: A Dynasty]

Virginia with the surprise win 87-79. Great start for the ACC and a good win for Virginia.

[CampbellBlueDevil]

Thank you Virginia... this will give the ACC a chance at an upset of the challenge! It looks like we can mark UNC down for a loss.

[Newton_14]

Wow, I missed all of the excitement. I watched it all until about 14 minutes left and had to switch to kid duty for awhile. UVA was still down when I turned it. The Farakan kid lit it up in the first half, but sounds like the whole team did that after I stopped watching..

Go UVA! We needed this one and I was expecting a loss as I guess most were.

Good to see. You can tell Bennett is a really good coach as they are not exactly loaded with talent or anything.

The only Minnesota games I have seen this year are the UNC one and half of this UVA one. By beating an overrated #8 UNC and an unrated WVU team by 4, they boosted up to a #13 ranking this week. I think a lot of the voters perhaps took that #8 UNC win as an upset even though that game in retrospect seems a wash. Perhaps now Minnesota will float on to the 20s... probably where they belong at this point.
