The North Carolina Tar Heels are coming off an appearance in the National Championship Game, after losing to Villanova on a heartbreaking buzzer-beater.
So for fans eagerly awaiting the start of the 2016-17 season, any news is good news.
While the Tar Heels know their ACC opponents, the tournaments they will play in and the majority of their non-conference schedule, there are still things to be worked out. One of those things is their opponent in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge.
The annual event pits the Atlantic Coast Conference up against the Big Ten and usually features some premiere match-ups.
