The strength of the ACC and the Big Ten this season makes this year’s installment of the ACC/Big Ten Challenge quite intriguing.
As do the matchups. Specifically, will Maryland play former archrival Duke, or will they be paired up with North Carolina, the only other team in the country getting buzz as a potential preseason No. 1?
On Wednesday, the matchups were officially announced, and it will be the latter. Maryland will be playing at North Carolina this season. Duke, fresh off of their national title, will be hosting Indiana, who will likely be a preseason top 15 team with Yogi Ferrell back.
