The Virginia Tech Hokies and the rest of the ACC learned of their opponents in next season’s ACC/Big Ten Challenge Friday. The defending ACC champions will host the Minnesota Golden Gophers on opening night of the annual challenge. Pitt vs. Northwestern joins the Hokies and Gophers in playing on Monday, Nov. 29.
This is only the second all-time meeting between the two schools, who last played on Nov. 30, 2011, which also happened to be in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge. The Golden Gophers won that meeting, 58-55, in Minneapolis. Tip times for the games will be announced at a later date.
