Up to the challenge?

Iowa will visit Boston College in the 10th annual ACC/Big Ten Challenge, the conference announced today.

The Hawkeyes have a road game in this year’s event and will play in Boston on Tuesday, Dec. 2, the first meeting between Iowa and Boston College since 1974. BC won the only previous meeting between the schools.

The road test will test the Hawkeyes in more ways than one next season. It comes shortly after Iowa plays in the Las Vegas Invitational. The Hawkeyes are scheduled to join Kentucky, Kansas State and West Virginia in a bracket that will play in Las Vegas on Nov. 28-29.

 This year’s ACC/Big Ten Challenge match-ups include a game between North Carolina and Michigan State that will be played at Ford Field in Detroit on Dec. 3. The event tips off on Dec. 1, when Wisconsin plays at Virginia Tech.

In addition to the Iowa game on Dec. 2, Duke visits Purdue, Clemson is at Illinois, Ohio State travels to Miami and Virginia is at Minnesota.

On Dec. 3, Indiana is at Wake Forest, Michigan visits Maryland, Florida State is at Northwestern and Penn State travels to Georgia Tech.
