Hmm. I am fearful of this matchup. At least we get a home slot. And by the way, I think the b1g goes down this year.

They won't send Syracuse or Duke.  I doubt they match us up with NC State again this season, so I'm banking on it being either Georgia Tech, Pittsburgh or Virginia.

 

Gun to Head choice:  Pittsburgh.

Played Pitt at the Garden a few years ago. My money is on Virginia

Virginia or Pitt, seems likely.

I'll go with Virginia too.

Agreed but that wasn't part of this challenge.  I think they'll send Virginia to a better team.  Make it more of a marquee matchup.

The refurbished ACC and Big Ten will stage some high-profile matchups in their annual challenge series in the coming season, highlighted by national championship contenders Duke and Wisconsin clashing in Madison on the second night of the event. 

 

In other notable matchups, Syracuse will visit Michigan, Ohio State will travel to Louisville, Indiana will host Pittburgh and North Carolina will welcome Iowa to Chapel Hill, sources confirmed to SI.com. Maryland, which left the ACC at the end of this past season to join the Big Ten, will face longtime rival Virginia to College Park.

 

And I was right.  According to SI

Good matchup? Last year final may have been 40-35. Neither team gets buckets.

[CampHoosier 3,697]

Wished we could have gotten Virginia. Would've helped our RPI

[BlueDevil 8,687]

I like this game for IU should be a good one

I get that, but I prefer Pitt because it's at least winnable. I feel like we would've gotten our butts handed to us by virginia

Ought to be a good game.

Indiana will handle Pitt, and could have handled Virgina as well if they came to our house. I.U. will be much improved next year over last IMO. I'm looking forward to seeing  Wisky Vs. Duke and Ohio st. vs. Louisville! Be a nice gauge of what we'll be up against in the Big.

Should be a pretty good game. 

[JaybobHoosier 11,843]

Wonder if we will see any ACC scrubs, or it will be all their top teams? Oh well. IU has a very good chance at winning this game. Will be interesting to see how IU progresses with the current players.

All 14 B1G schools and 14 of the 15 ACC schools are competing.

BC is the only school out, they had the worst overall record in the ACC last year.
