NC State headed to Ole Miss as part of inaugural ACC/SEC Challenge

The ACC/Big Ten Challenge is no more—likely a casualty of the ongoing television wars in college sports (the B1G is primarily a FOX property)—and in its place is the new ACC/SEC Challenge for both men’s and women’s basketball.

On the men’s side, NC State has drawn Ole Miss and will play in Oxford on Nov. 28 at 9 p.m. Television coverage has not been set for any of the games.

The Rebels are coming off a rough 12-21 (3-15) campaign that cost head coach Kermit Davis his job; they’re going into their first season with Chris Beard, who one might say should never have been hired in the first place, but hey, the man can certainly coach.
