Frank Martin’s teams have faced off against Buzz Williams’ teams for years in “secret” preseason scrimmages.
This year’s matchup between South Carolina and Virginia Tech will be open to the public and will support hurricane relief efforts in Texas, South Florida and Puerto Rico.
The “Hoops 4 Hurricane Relief” exhibition was announced this week and will be played Nov. 5 at 2 p.m. at Colonial Life Arena.
Williams spoke about how the game came about during ACC Media Day on Wednesday in Charlotte.
“This will be Frank and I’s ninth year playing against one another, and we just alternate home and away, regardless of where we’re employed, and it’s just been that way.
