The Big Ten/ACC Challenge is an opportunity to match 14 Big Ten teams up with 14 ACC Teams. Michigan State will have the highest profiled matchup in the challenge when they host a Duke team who is expected to be a top-5 team again this year, along with MSU. The Michigan State Basketball Twitter account recently posted the tip-off time, so you might want to request work off for December 4th, as MSU will be hosting the Blue Devils in the Breslin Center on December 3rd at 9:30pm ET on ESPN.

As a West Coast Spartan, this is great news for me as the game starts a little bit after I get home from work. As for those of you in Michigan or somewhere else in Eastern time… get some Red Bulls, put on a green and white jersey, order some pizza and get ready for one of the top matchups of the college basketball season.
