Bookmark and Share

A rematch of the national title game will highlight the 11th annual ACC/Big Ten Challenge. Michigan State will travel to national champion UNC on Dec. 1.

UNC beat Michigan State 89-72 for the Tar Heels' fifth NCAA title on April 6. The Heels also beat the Spartans in last year's Challenge.

The ACC has won every year of the Challenge. Duke, which is 10-0 in Challenge play, goes to Wisconsin on Dec. 2. N.C. State, which was left out of  last year's Challenge, will host Northwestern on Dec. 1.

Actually there are two title game rematches. Maryland visits Indiana on Dec. 1, a replay of the 2002 championship game won by the Terps.
