The ninth annual Big Ten/ACC Challenge tipped off with one game Monday night (Wake Forest's 56-47
win at Iowa), continued with a five-game slate last night, and will end tonight with five more
games. The ACC has won the Commissioner's Cup, which is awarded to the conference whose teams win
more games in the Challenge, all eight years prior to this season's edition and they look well on
their way to claiming the trophy this time around as well.
The Central Michigan Chippewas accomplished what fellow Michigan state school Oakland couldn't do
as they went into Crisler Arena and beat the host Michigan Wolverines 78-67 yesterday. CMU guard
Giordan Watson scored 15 of his game-high 22 points in the second half and the Chippewas were able
to hold off a furious late Michigan rally to improve to 4-5 on the season.
Well it is for me at least, anyway. Teams were allowed to officially begin practicing two weeks ago
and the school I root for (in all college sports) is the Maize and Blue, the Michigan Wolverines of
the rough-and-tumble Big Ten Conference. Last year's NIT trip (yet another one) under then-coach
Tommy Amaker capped off a season well short of expectations and as a result, Amaker got fired.
