The calendar turns to December and with it come a few exciting things. First, NCAAGameSim.com is now available to sim games for the 2014-15 season. That means that you'll start seeing daily predictions and links to sim the games in every ACC Morning Linkfest. Also, December 1st marks the beginning of the ACC/B1G Challenge. Tonight, Clemson hosts Rutgers and FSU hosts Nebraska. Not exactly two of the more exciting games of the challenge, but they may be the difference in the end result.
Rutgers is coming off a matchup with Virginia on Saturday night in which they scored just 26 points. Rod Hall is questionable to play after twisting an ankle early in their game with High Point on Saturday. Whatever the result, don't look for a pretty game.
FSU will also be missing a couple players, as Devon Bookert is out after having surgery on his foot. Aaron Thomas is likely out as well, although Leonard Hamilton left the door open slightly.
"Aaron will be evaluated again and I'm sure he'll be going through another battery of tests early in the week," Hamilton said. "I know he'll be doing something (Monday) and then we'll just have to respond to what the doctors give us. But as of right now he's out indefinitely until they tell us different."
