About ACC–Big Ten Challenge in brief
The Big Ten–ACC Challenge is an in-season NCAA men’s college basketball series that matches up teams from the Big Ten Conference and the Atlantic Coast Conference. ESPN was a key part of the creation of the challenge, and holds the broadcast rights to all the games. Each game is hosted by one of the participating schools, with teams typically alternating home and away status in each successive year. The ACC leads 12–6–3 in the series and 138–112 in games. Duke is the most successful team in either conference in Challenge competition by a large margin, holding a 19–3 record.
Penn State and Purdue are the only Big Ten teams with winning records in the Challenge, while two others have 0. 500 records. The popularity of both this series and a previous ACC interconference basketball series, ACC–Big East Challenge of the 1980s, has led other conferences to form similar partnerships in which their members go head-to-head.
