The matchups for the ACC/Big Ten challenge were announced on Tax Day this past week. North Carolina will travel to Motown on December 3, 2008, to play the Michigan State Spartans.

The new undisputed Mr. Big Shot of March made himself a candidate for a second career ESPY late Friday night in Conseco Field House, at age 19. The Minnesota freshman won an ESPY in 2005 for hitting a game-tying shot from his backside in the Minnesota state high school championship game. Now, standing on his own two feet, he's put the Gophers in the Big Ten tournament semifinals and back into NCAA tournament contention with another shot worthy of an ESPY nom this summer. <object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/u51znupszPw&hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/u51znupszPw&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object> Sat, 15 Mar 2008 13:36:29 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/201327 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/201327 In knocking of the Indiana Hoosiers, the Minnesota Golden Gophers overcame a referee corps that did everything in its power to get the home state team to Saturday, the continued absence of Spencer Tollackson, and another monstrous double-double from D.J. White in notching what constitutes the first signature win of the Tubby era in the Twin Minny.

For a basketball program that remarkably hasn't been to an NCAA Tournament since 1998, Beilein's victory over Ohio State marks what many Blue faithful recognize as the turning point.
