B1G Wins Third Straight Challenge over ACC

Published by Source on December 1st, 2011

After losing each of the first ten years of the Big Ten / ACC Challenge, the B1G Conference has turned the table and won it for the third straight year. In the first year of a 12-team conference (and therefore a 12-game challenge), the B1G took 8 of the games and won the annual event 8-4. Below we have the results of all 12 games, as well as some stats for each. The B1G won 4 out of 6 games in each of the two days and entered Wednesday needing 3 wins to clinch. After winning the first 3 games of the day, the conference fans could rest easy and enjoy some solid basketball in the Wednesday late games.

Powerade Fab 50 Preseason List

Published by Source on October 20th, 2011

ESPNHS has released its preseason Powerade Fab 50, a list of the 50 best boy’s high school basketball teams in the country. There are a number of Illinois and Indiana teams on the list, as well as plenty of teams with players committed to or being recruited by B1G and Chicago-area colleges. Here’s the highlights of the list:

 

1. Simeon Career Academy (Chicago, IL)

- Chicago powerhouse Simeon landed the well-deserved top spot on this year’s list. Behind outstanding junior Jabari Parker, considered by some to be the best player in the 2013 class, the Wolverines lineup features several other highly-touted prospects. Senior Steve Taylor is already committed to Marquette, while junior Kendrick Nunn recently re-opened his recruitment after making an early pledge to Texas A&M. Also joining the group is junior point guard Jaylon Tate, who transferred to Simeon from De La Salle this past summer. Tate has been hearing from most of the B1G already, plus hometown DePaul, and has already landed an offer from Northwestern.

Zach Auguste Commits to Notre Dame

Published by Source on September 23rd, 2011

Just a few weeks ago, 2012 PF Zach Auguste had cut his list of schools down to four and Notre Dame was one of the schools that did NOT make the list. That didn’t stop Mike Brey and staff from continuing to pursue Auguste (New Hampton, NH), who recently moved up to #93 in the Rivals150. Apparently, that perseverance did not go unnoticed as Auguste committed to the Fighting Irish earlier today.

Auguste set up official visits for his final four schools (Marquette, Florida, West Virginia, and Georgia Tech), but only made it to Marquette last weekend before making the commitment. He scheduled an official visit to South Bend and arrived on campus on Wednesday. Obviously, the visit left quite an impression on the prep school senior.
