Big 10 ACC Challenge Games Announced

08/08/2012

(KLZA) ESPN announced the network and start time designations for the 14th annual ACC/Big Ten Challenge presented by DICK’s Sporting Goods, to be played Tuesday and Wednesday, Nov. 27 and 28. All 12 games of the two-day event will be broadcast on ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPNU.
The 2012 Challenge will feature nine teams ranked in an ESPN.com early preseason top 25 poll, including five of the top nine squads: No. 1 Indiana, No. 5 Michigan, No. 6 NC State, No. 8 Ohio State and No. 9 Michigan State.
The Challenge annually features top college basketball programs playing for conference supremacy and the Commissioner’s Cup. The Big Ten won its third consecutive Challenge in 2011, while the ACC had captured the first 10 titles. In the event of a 6-6 tie, the Commissioner’s Cup will remain with the conference that won it the previous year.
It is the second straight year that Nebraska and Wake Forest will square off in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge, as the Demon Deacons pulled out a 55-53 victory in Lincoln last November. The Big Ten won the Commissioner’s Cup for the third consecutive year in 2011, winning eight of the 12 matchups.
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 27
