The 2020-21 ACC/B1G challenge slate is set, and it’s headlined by a potential Final Four preview.

CBS Sports’ Jon Rothstein tweeted out all 14 matchups on Thursday afternoon, including a battle between Illinois and Duke. The Blue Devils will host Brad Underwood’s Illini squad in that matchup, per Rothstein.

Here’s the full slate:

  • Illinois at Duke
  • Michigan State at Virginia
  • NC State at Michigan
  • Indiana at Florida State
  • Ohio State at Notre Dame
  • Syracuse at Rutgers
  • Boston College at Minnesota
  • Maryland at Clemson
  • Pittsburgh at Northwestern
  • Georgia Tech at Nebraska
  • Louisville at Wisconsin
  • Penn State at Virginia Tech
  • Purdue at Miami
  • North Carolina at Iowa

Illinois could be in for one of its best seasons in recent memory. Led by forward Ayo Dosunmu, the Illini are a clear top-10 team heading into the preseason.

The Big Ten has dominated the annual challenge since 2009, going 6-2-3 over that stretch. The Big Ten won last season’s challenge 8-6.
