Big Ten/ACC challenge games set
The field for this year's Big Ten/ACC challenge is set, and Penn State will face a familiar opponent in Georgia Tech. The game will be played on Wednesday, Dec. 3, but no time has been announced yet.
The Nittany Lions faced the Yellow Jackets in this event back in 2006, and lost 77-73. Georgia Tech finished this season 15-17 overall, and ninth in the ACC with a 7-9 conference record. On the surface, a pretty even matchup for the Lions, however, the Yellow Jackets will lose their top two scorers in Anthony Morrow and Jeremis Smith.
The Big Ten has never won the Big Ten/ACC challenge, and Penn State's win over Virginia Tech this year was only the program's second win in the event.
Some other intriguing matchups will be Wisconsin at Virginia Tech, Duke at Purdue and North Carolina at Michigan State, which will be played at Ford Field.
