The ACC/Big Ten Challenge rolls along Tuesday night when the Virginia Cavaliers (5-0, 0-0 away) visit the Michigan Wolverines (5-1, 3-0 home). Virginia may be the most surprising team in the country as they have catapulted into the top five of the rankings. Michigan has been unimpressive most of the season, but still have just one loss on the year. Below is my college basketball pick for Virginia vs Michigan.

This game was close for 16 minutes, but Michigan went on a run and ended the first half leading by 10.
