The Jackets will enter Wednesday night’s ACC/Big Ten Challenge showdown against Northwestern with a 3-1 record. It will be the second, major conference program that the Jackets will face this year, joining Tennessee. The Jackets against Tennessee struggled offensively in the 66-53 despite keeping the Volunteers offense rather quiet for the evening. Against their other four opponents, the Jackets have looked the part. While they have had struggles, they have pretty much got the job done winning three by 15+ points with the lone other being a 9-point victory.
But if the Tennessee game showed anything, it showed that when the Yellow Jackets face teams that are as talented or more talented.
