2019 ACC-Big Ten Challenge includes rematch between NC State and Wisconsin

The matchups for the 2019 ACC-Big Ten Challenge were released Thursday, and for the second consecutive season, NC State will play Wisconsin, though the game is in Raleigh this time. The Wolfpack and Badgers will meet on Wednesday, Dec. 4.

I doubt I need remind anyone of the sheningans involving one Brad Davison that transpired during the game in Madison last year—heinous shenaniganry that perhaps in the end accounting cost State an NCAA tournament bid.

Scrappy McGee there will be back for Wisconsin this season, and I’m sure he is due the warmest of welcomes in Raleigh. The Badgers did lose a few guys to graduation, including stud big man Ethan Happ, and should be plenty mortal.

Here is the full list of the Challenge matchups:

Dec. 2

Clemson at Minnesota
Miami at Illinois

Dec. 3
