This Tuesday, ESPN will be in the house for the Annual ACC/B1G Challenge. The
marquee game of the Challenge is the Duke Blue Devils taking on THE Ohio State
Buckeyes at the Schott. Even as a teenager, I've always admired what Duke and
Coach K stood for: Integrity, Discipline and Winning (Not a tribute to Charlie
Sheen on the final adjective). The Blue Devils' success has been the constant
in sports that is led by arguably the greatest Coach in all of sports: Coach K.
He learned from the very best in Bob Knight and has made Duke the
"Blueprint" by which all other schools should try to emulate (including
OSU). This game has the makings of an instant classic.
The Buckeyes are still loaded even for a team that lost its best 3 point
shooter (Diebler) and the heart and soul of the team
(Lighty). Jared Sullinger
is leaner and meaner and is on a quest to bring OSU its first title since 1960.
His supporting cast is solid with Senior William Buford, who by the way, can
become OSU's All-Time leading scorer by seasons end and PG Aaron Craft who
always has his hands on the ball offensively or defensively.
Dickie V will be in the house and the Nut House will
bring plenty of electricity as Thad and the boys will have enough firepower to
tame the Devils and give Coach K his first loss of the season. With that
said...
Prediction: OSU 78 Duke 74
GO BUCKS!!!
