This Week's Question: Can Anyone Outside of the ACC/Big Ten Win the NCAA Tournament?

 

ACC

Big East

Big Ten

Big 12

Pac-10

SEC

At the beginning of the college basketball season most figured North Carolina and Duke to be head and shoulders above everyone else in the Atlantic Coast Conference. This assumption carried throug the first month of the season as well.

Wake Forest, Miami and now the Clemson Tigers are slowly beginning to earn this elite respect as well.

As the college basketball season turns just a month old, it appears that one ACC team has already fallen out of contention for an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament.

As Virginia Tech lost to a potential SEC cellar-dwelling opponent in Georgia on Tuesday night, the Hokies affirmed, yet again, that it just does not have the heart to compete for forty minutes this season. They are just nine points away from being undefeated but instead sport a 5-4 record.

 

Since its incarnation 10 years ago, the ACC-Big Ten Challenge has been one-sided with the Atlantic Coast Conference winning each of the nine challenges played to date. This year is shaping up to be no different as a much stronger ACC looks to cap a blissful decade of dominance. The Big Ten is poised to score at least a few wins this year though. We break down the challenge, game by game.

 

Monday, December 1 - No. 19 Wisconsin (5-1) at Virginia Tech (4-2)
