Wisconsin Badgers
MADISON, WI (WSAU) — Organizers of the annual Big Ten-ACC Men’s Basketball Challenge have announced the pairings for this year’s event.
The Wisconsin Badgers will take on Georgia Tech at McCamish Pavilion in Atlanta in what will be a matchup of two NCAA tournament teams from 2021.
As of now the game is slated to take place on December 1st. Tip-off will be set at a later date.
Wisconsin was the 9 seed in the Midwest Region and defeated North Carolina before falling to Baylor, who went on to win the national title. The Yellowjackets were also a #9 seed but fell in the first round to Loyola-Chicago.
Other games on this year’s schedule include Ohio State vs Duke, North Carolina vs Michigan, and Syracuse vs Indiana.
The Big Ten has won the last two challenge events and is unbeaten in three straight years, accounting for a 7-7 tie between the conferences in 2018. The ACC leads the all-time series 12-7, the leagues have tied three times.
Earlier this month it was also announced that the Badgers would play Big East foe Providence College in the annual Gavitt Tip-Off Games. That contest is scheduled for November 15th at the Kohl Center. Wisconsin will also participate in the 2021 Maui Jim Maui Invitational. The bracket for that event will be announced later.
