Syracuse-Indiana to play Dec. 3 at 7:15 p.m. in ACC/Big 10 Challenge

ESPN announced game times and network coverages for the ACC/Big Ten Challenge on Thursday

No. 9 Syracuse’s game against No. 20 Indiana in the Carrier Dome will be played on Dec. 3 at 7:15 p.m. and televised on ESPN. 

The Orange has won the past four matchups against the Hoosiers, most recently a 61-50 victory in the Sweet 16 last year. 

Syracuse and Indiana kick off the two-day, 12-game event. All games will be featured on ESPN, ESPN2 or ESPNU. The Challenge showcases eight teams in the preseason Top 25, including six of the nation’s top 12 teams.

Other marquee matchups include No. 10 Michigan at No. 6 Duke, Notre Dame at No. 25 Iowa and No. 12 North Carolina at No. 3 Michigan State.



The ACC won the first 10 Challenges, starting in 1999. The Big Ten then won three straight before they tied 6-6 last season.

Notre Dame, Pittsburgh and Syracuse all earned a spot in the Challenge in their first year in the conference. The only ACC teams that will not play in the event are Virginia Tech, Wake Forest and Clemson.
