Don't know about the rest, but I'm really excited to see the Big Ten's newest member Bye. I think they'll keep it close with Georgia Tech.

Dude --- "Bye" will open that game as a 1.5 point favorite.

Worse yet, they'll win by double digits

The former Hokie will prevent the GT loss.

But... GT did win at Northwestern last year 66-58. So they held up their end of the B1G Challenge.

Of course GT will be up 8 with five minutes left in the game before ultimately losing by 11.

I'm glad they were smart enough to put us on the road this time around. Last time Littlejohn was renovated we tried to work it out where we would play on the road that year so we could get the home game actually at home instead of the Anderson Civic Center and the conference shot that down because it would "mess up the rotation".

Bye will beat Georgia Tech with under 10 seconds to play. Gregory will praise the team for fighting hard and showing gritty defense. The offense will of course shoot under 30% and operate the Hewitt clogged toilet offense for most of the game.

I figured for sure Clemson would play at Bon Secours Arena this year? I was looking forward to be able to damn bicycle my way to a GT hoops game, even if we would be a total embarrassment most of the game.

BYE used to make deep runs in the NCAA's, but that was decades ago (they usually wound up losing to UCLA in the elite eight, IIRC).

Lately, BYE is more of a football school. I hadn't realized they'd joined the Big Ten -- wonder how long their infamous nonconference schedule (so many SEC teams late in the season!) will hold up.

I think Tech can handle them.

We are this time around, but the last time we split "home games" between Anderson and Greenville.
