Michigan State squares off against Duke in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge in December, but the Spartans won't have to wait that long to get a shot at an Atlantic Coast Conference foe.
Michigan State will open the Maui Invitational on Nov. 25 against Virginia Tech in a game to be televised on ESPN2, it was announced Thursday. Tip-off is at 5 p.m. EST at the Lahaina Civic Center.
The winner of that game will take on either Dayton or Georgia on Nov. 26.
The other side of the eight-team bracket includes first-round matchups between Kansas and host Chaminade, and Brigham Young and UCLA.
