#510 Virginia Tech Hokies -3
4-Units (6:00 P.M. CST) (ESPN2)
If you are not familiar with the Big Ten/ACC Challenge, you do not know what you have been missing. This Challenge features some of the elite teams from both leagues going at it night after night with the winner being decided after 11 games have been played. The ACC has won EVERY Single Challenge dating back to its inception in 1999. Wisconsin has went 3-6 against ACC schools in the Challenge, while Virginia Tech has went 1-2 against Big Ten competition in the Challenge.
Wisconsin puts a 5-1 record and #25 ranking on the line against a Virginia Tech team that is 4-2 on the season. Wisconsin has been getting its wins by smothering opposing teams on defense, and playing just well enough on offense to put themselves in winning situations. They have played one ranked opponent in Connecticut(#2) losing that game by a score of 57-76. Wisconsin is led by Junior guard Trevon Hughes who is averaging 14 points a game, and Joe Krabbenhoft who is averaging 7 rebounds per outing.
Virginia Tech is also playing very efficiently on defense, with only one opponent(Seton Hall) shooting over 39% from the field against them on the season. They are led offensively by Sophomore Forward Jeff Allen and Senior Forward A.D. Vassalo both who are averaging 17 points a game. Virginia Tech has yet to play a ranked opponent, but both of their losses came against basketball powerhouses Xavier and Seton Hall, by a combined total of 5 points.
Wisconsin has a young team that is a work in progress. They will only get better with each game that they play. This young Badger team may be overwhelmed having to come into the Cassell Coliseum in Blacksburg, Virginia in a Nationally Televised ESPN event. Virginia Tech gets win #1 for the ACC in the Big Ten/ ACC Challenge.
