Ranking the Big Ten-ACC Challenge games from most to least intriguing (The Dagger: College Basketball Blog)

Wed, 08 May 2013 14:48:13 PDT

ESPN announced the schedule for next season's Big Ten/ACC Challenge on Wednesday. Here's a look at each of the games ranked from 1 to 12. 1. Michigan at Duke (Dec. 3): If the Wolverines and Blue Devils had to go this long without meeting in the Big Ten-ACC Challenge, at least it's a marquee matchup that ought to be worth the wait. Both teams should begin the season in the top 10 with Michigan returning three starters from a team that reached the national title game and Duke boasting one of the nation's best perimeter units. 2. North Carolina at Michigan State (Dec. 4): Two experienced potential top 10 teams will meet in East Lansing for the fifth time in Challenge history, with both teams having split the previous four meetings. Michigan State returns every key player besides Derrick Nix, while North Carolina is highlighted by the inside-outside duo of James Michael McAdoo and P.J. Hairston. 3. Indiana at Syracuse (Dec. 3): A young but talented Hoosiers team seeking to replace Cody Zeller and Victor Oladipo will try to prove it has learned how to attack a two-three zone. Indiana had little success against Syracuse in the Sweet 16 this past March when the Orange sprung an upset on their way to the Final Four. 4. Maryland at Ohio State (Dec. 4): The ACC's latest parting shot to Big Ten-bound Maryland? How about a road game against a Big Ten title contender? Deshaun Thomas' departure creates a scoring void for the Buckeyes, but Sam Thompson and LaQuinton Ross are capable of filling it. Plus, Aaron Craft should be a nightmare defensive matchup for Maryland freshman point guard Roddy Peters.

Winners and losers now that the NBA draft early-entry deadline has passed (The Dagger: College Basketball Blog)

Mon, 29 Apr 2013 09:11:22 PDT

The deadline for underclassmen to declare for the NBA draft came and went on Sunday. Here's a look at which programs benefited from the return of some high-profile players and which suffered some unexpected losses: EARLY-ENTRY DEADLINE WINNERS: 1. Michigan State: Freshman guard Gary Harris likely would have been a first-round pick had he opted to enter the NBA draft. Junior forward Adreian Payne had a chance to parlay his strong finish this past season into being selected in the first round as well. Both opted to return to school for one more year instead, all but ensuring Michigan State will start next season in the top three in the polls along with Louisville and Kentucky. Every key player besides Derrick Nix from this past year's Sweet 16 team returns for the Spartans, with point guard Keith Appling, wing Denzel Valentine and forward Branden Dawson likely to join Payne and Harris in a formidable starting lineup. 2. Oklahoma State: Of all the top college players who opted to return to school this spring, Marcus Smart's decision was the most surprising. The dynamic freshman had a chance to be selected in the top five in this year's draft, but he came back to Oklahoma State in hopes of paving the way for a special season next year. With Smart, Markel Brown and Le'Bryan Nash all returning from a team that won 24 games and finished 13-5 in the Big 12, the Cowboys belong in the preseason top 10. They're also a big threat to end Kansas' Big 12 title streak, especially with the Jayhawks losing their entire starting five. 3. Creighton: Doug McDermott's decision to return for his senior year prevents the Bluejays from entering the Big East in rebuilding mode. Had McDermott left, Creighton would have lost its three leading scorers off a team that won 28 games and captured the Missouri Valley title last season. Graduating seniors Gregory Echenique and Grant Gibbs will still be missed, but the Bluejays will have an All-American candidate to build around. Pair the high-scoring McDermott with sweet-shooting Ethan Wragge, steady Jahenns Manigat and dynamic Austin Chatman, and that's a nucleus capable of competing with Georgetown, Marquette and Villanova in the new-look Big East.

Michigan guard Nik Stauskas sinks 46 straight threes in the rain (The Dagger: College Basketball Blog)

Thu, 25 Apr 2013 05:57:20 PDT

During a quiet moment on the eve of the national title game a few weeks ago, Michigan freshman Nik Stauskas admitted he's surprised by the reaction YouTube videos of him shooting in his backyard have gotten. One showed him burying 45 out of 50 3-pointers over Thanksgiving break. In another, he sank 102 threes in five minutes as a high school senior. "Honestly, it was just me and my dad being bored at home and having nothing to do," Stauskas said. "When I started making those videos, I was pretty much unknown, so I figured I'd put some stuff up on YouTube. Ever since I've gotten to Michigan, they've kind of blown up a bit." Expect Stauskas' latest video to get some attention as well simply because it might be the most impressive of all of them. Using two friends to help him rebound on Wednesday afternoon, the sweet-shooting swingman shot for five minutes in the wind and rain in the backyard of his family's home in Mississauga, Ontario. He sank 46 straight threes to start the drill and 70 of 76 overall for an impressive 92 percent clip.
