BRISTOL, Conn. – ESPN has announced that the Virginia Tech at Michigan game in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge will tip-off at 7 p.m. on ESPN2 on Wednesday, Nov. 30.

ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPNU will televise the 14 games of the 18^th annual ACC/Big Ten Challenge – including all Big Ten schools and all but one member from the ACC – to close out November. ESPN’s College GameDay Covered by State Farm – the Saturday roadshow that discusses the top storylines of the college basketball season – will originate from one of the Challenge games, to be announced at a later date.

The Big Ten captured the Commissioner’s Cup in 2015 and 2014, winning eight of the 14 matchups both years. The two conferences split the previous two events, winning six Challenge games each in 2012 and 2013. The ACC won the first 10 Challenges (1999-2008), while the Big Ten won the next three (2009-2011). In the event of a tie, the Commissioner’s Cup remains with the conference that won the previous year. The ACC holds the 10-5-2 winning record in the previous 17 years.
