Big Ten/ACC Challenge-final night

With five games left tonight in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge, the score is tied at three wins apiece for each conference. And so far, the only game I've picked incorrectly was Iowa over Virginia Tech last night. ESPN.com college basketball writer Dana O'Neil wrote a short blog entry about tonight's lineup and deciding games. She also feels that this could be the year for the Big Ten to win its first-ever Challenge.

The Big Ten needs to take three of the five games to earn the 11th edition of the event. O'Neil agreed with my picks for tonight-I'm counting on Minnesota, Michigan and Ohio State to take care of business. The Buckeyes are at home against Florida State and the Wolverines host Boston College. The Gophers need a big win on the road at Miami. O'Neil and I both felt that Wisconsin, although at home, isn't a good matchup against Duke and a physical Clemson squad should overpower Illinois who will be traveling on the road.
