Now that it is Tuesday, basketball heads back into the national spotlight. Tonight starts the 14th year of the ACC/Big 10 Challenge. The ACC leads the overall series 10-3 with Duke leading all teams with the best overall record at 11-2. The ACC won the first ten years of this challenge with all of their powerhouse programs but the Big 10 has battled back to win the last three years and right now they have three teams ranked in the top five in the nation compared to only three teams ranked in the top 25 for the ACC.
Tonight has the best overall matchups in this year's series with #1 Indiana taking on #14 North Carolina. This will be the battle of the post players with James Michael McAdoo going against the preseason player of the year Cody Zeller. In the game just before this one #3 Michigan takes on #18 North Carolina State. This game will be the total opposite as these teams have two of the best point guards in the nation with Trey Burke and Lorenzo Brown. The third and final matchup of the powerhouse teams from these conferences will be tom night when #2 Duke takes on #4 Ohio State.
