Today’s matchup between Clemson and Maryland at Littlejohn Coliseum in Clemson might be a part of the ACC/Big Ten Challenge, but it has more of an old ACC feel to it.
From 1953-2014, Maryland competed in the ACC. The Terrapins were one of the original seven charter members of the ACC that started the conference along with Clemson, Duke, North Carolina, NC State, South Carolina and Wake Forest in the fall of 1953.
Clemson and Maryland played every year on the basketball court until the Terrapins up and left the conference after the 2013-’14 season to join the Big Ten for what they felt was a better financial situation.
