The schedule for the 2014 ACC-Big Ten Challenge was announced Thursday with the headline attraction matching Duke against Wisconsin.
The Dec, 3 game in Madison, Wis., will likely pair teams that will begin next season in the top five of the polls, the favorites to win their conference titles and national championship contenders. Wisconsin, which reached the Final Four last month, returns most of its players from that team.
Other matchups include Syracuse at Michigan in a 2013 Final Four rematch, Ohio State at first-year ACC member Louisville, Iowa at North Carolina, Pittsburgh at Indiana and Michigan State at Notre Dame.
Maryland, which begins its first season in the Big Ten this summer, will face longtime ACC rival Virginia in College Park, Md.
The ACC leads the series 10-3-2, but the Big Ten is 3-0-2 in the past five years. The last two years have resulted in a tie.
The schedule includes:
Monday, December 1
Nebraska at Florida State
Rutgers at Clemson
Tuesday, December 2
Syracuse at Michigan
Ohio State at Louisville
Pittsburgh at Indiana
NC State at Purdue
Illinois at Miami
Minnesota at Wake Forest
Wednesday, December 3
Duke at Wisconsin
Michigan State at Notre Dame
Iowa at North Carolina
Virginia at Maryland
Georgia Tech at Northwestern
Virginia Tech at Penn State
