    games announced today and there will be some good ones…

    UNC at Indiana-likely preseason number 1 Hoosiers take on a young, but talented Carolina team losing 4 of it’s 5 starters.  Mcadoo and Zeller wil be a fun matchup to watch in the post.  Assembly Hall wll be rocking.  Indiana basketball is back.

    Ohio State at Duke-Buckeyes embarrassed the Devils 85-63 last year in Columbus.  This year the game is at Cameron, but Duke was very vulnerable there last year.  Who will create off the dribble for Duke after Austin Rivers left early for the NBA?

    NC State at Michigan-probably the best game of the challenge.  Likely preseason top five NC State is loaded with CJ Leslie, Lorenzo Brown and Richard Howell and Michigan will challenge in the Big Ten with Trey Burke and Tim Hardaway Jr.

    Virginia at Wisconsin-first one to 45 points wins?

    Sounds like some great matchups.

    Would have loved to see UNC play Indiana last year. Battle between the Zeller brothers would have been entertaining lol. Maybe we’ll get to see them matchup in the NBA. Are they the american version of the Gasol brothers? haha prolly not

    Zeller v McAdoo in the IU v UNC matchup is the best individual player matchup in the entire challenge.

    Tough draw for my Cavaliers. Wisconsin should be a pretty good team next year considering they’re returning everyone except for Jordan Taylor.

    that UVA Wisconsin game will most likely be played at the slowest pace ever for a college basletball game…

    Ha ha, you’re right. You’re first to 45 might be right, although UVA is a pretty athletic team this year with them having a really quick PG in Jontel Evans and a really athletic wing Justin Anderson and a couple other pretty good athletes I won’t bother mentioning, so I wonder if they’ll have a little bit more of an up-tempo playing style.

    I like Jontel Evans.  He gave UNC fits last year driving but a much slower Kendall Marshall at will.
