INDIANAPOLIS, IN - MARCH 11: Head coach John Beilein of the Michigan Wolverines reacts against the Illinois Fighting Illini during the quarterfinals of the 2011 Big Ten Men's Basketball Tournament at Conseco Fieldhouse on March 11, 2011 in Indianapolis, Indiana. (Photo by Andy Lyons/Getty Images)
ESPN announced the pairings for the 2012 ACC/Big Ten Challenge on Monday afternoon. NC State will hit the road to play the Michigan Wolverines on Tuesday, Nov. 27. But we already knew that. The matchups:
| Date | Game |
| Tue, Nov 27 | No. 13 North Carolina at No. 1 Indiana |
| No. 6 NC State at No. 5 Michigan | |
| No. 25 Minnesota at Florida State | |
| Maryland at Northwestern | |
| Iowa at Virginia Tech | |
| Nebraska at Wake Forest | |
| Wed, Nov 28 | No. 8 Ohio State at No. 15 Duke |
| Virginia at No. 22 Wisconsin | |
| No. 9 Michigan State at Miami | |
| Purdue at Clemson | |
| Georgia Tech at Illinois | |
| Boston College at Penn State |
As usual, Duke and UNC are involved in what should be a couple of excellent games, and I think that Michigan State/Miami game has the potential to be very good as well. Virginia and Wisconsin have been matched up because ESPN either wants to kill viewers or test this theory they have about stopping time.
