Penn State fans hoping the ACC/Big Ten Challenge would be a means to improving the Nits' non-conference schedule will have to wait.
The Lions will travel to Virginia for the 11th Challenge on Mon., Nov. 30. The Cavaliers went just 10-18 overall this past season.
Who knows? Everyone thought Georgia Tech was a big win this season, and that ended up being far from the case. Perhaps Sylven Landesberg and Co. can surprise a few with a strong showing next season.
The Nits will also be among eight teams in the 2009 Charleston Classic, held Nov. 19-22 at Carolina First Arena.
Penn State will be joined by Miami (Fla.), South Florida, South Carolina, LaSalle, UNC Wilmington, and Tulane in the tournament, with an eighth and final team to be named at a later date.
Below is the complete schedule for the ACC/Big Ten Challenge:
Monday, Nov. 30
Penn State at Virginia
Tuesday, Dec. 1
Maryland at Indiana
Michigan State at North Carolina
Northwestern at North Carolina State
Virginia Tech at Iowa
Wake Forest at Purdue
Wednesday, Dec. 2
Boston College at Michigan
Duke at Wisconsin
Illinois at Clemson
Florida State at Ohio State
Minnesota at Miami

It looks like Jamelle Cornley did lead Penn State to a win over Ohio State after all.
The Columbus, Ohio native spoke to the women's lacrosse team before its matchup with the No. 13 Bucks on Sunday.
Probably not coincidentally, Penn State won the game, its first conference victory in three years.
Cornley, named the men's basketball team's co-MVP on Friday, can now check one more goal off his pre-college list.
