Hard to believe that the Big Ten/ACC Challenge is heading into it's 18th season. A great display of what is usually two of the (if not THE) best conferences in college basketball. A chance for fan bases to have a guaranteed game against a P5 opponent and a chance to get to know the landscape of the ACC for Big Ten fans. Road trips to different venues and campuses for most of the Big Ten...except for Minnesota Golden Gopher fans.
After it was announced that the Gophers are facing Florida State in next year's Big Ten/ACC Challenge, I decided to take a look at just how many times these two teams have faced each other and found that after next year's game these two teams will have faced each other a third of the time.
