Just like 2006.
The ACC/Big Ten Challenge schedule has been released for 2009-2010 and UNC will host Michigan St. in Chapel Hill on December 1st. In 2006 UNC hosted Illinois eight months after they had beaten the Illini for the title. The Heels lost the rematch mainly because Illinois still retained some of their players from the previous season whereas UNC had David Noel, some freshman big man named Tyler Hansbrough and this kid named Danny Green who some thought would never make it. Needless to say UNC will bring more to the table in what should be a battle of top ten, possibly top five teams.
Here is the rest of the schedule via ACC Now. Through some miracle Duke actually plays a 2nd straight road game in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge. Someone call Ripley's.
