<p>One thing to look for in the challenge is road wins and/or upsets. It is a good way to briefly keep an eye on how a conference is doing. </p>
<p>When a road team with three losses beats a top 20 team that was previously undefeated, including a win over UNC, you really take notice. </p>
<p>The Virgina Cavaliers went up to Minnesota and beat the 17th-ranked Gophers 87-79. The Cavs absolutely lit it up from beyond the arc, hitting on 10-of-13 3-pointers. They were led by guard Joe Harris, who had 24 points and five rebounds. Mustapha Farrakhan had 23 points coming off the bench. </p>
<p>Minnesota had a 39-29 lead at halftime, and led for over 24 straight minutes. Virgina came on strong to finish the second half, scoring 58 points to Minnesota's 40 to get the victory.</p>
<p>Virginia's upset win gives the ACC a huge step forward going into day 2 of the challenge. For more on the two teams, head to <a href="http://www.streakingthelawn.com/">Streaking The Lawn </a>and <a href="http://www.thedailygopher.com/">The Daily Gopher.</a></p>

<p>The ACC-Big 10 Challenge, now in its 12th season, kicks off tonight with the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/teams/virginia-cavaliers">Virginia Cavaliers</a> taking on the Minnesota Gophers. The Big 10 won the challenge for the first time last year, and the ACC will be looking for a little bit of revenge. The more southern of the two conferences enters with only one ranked team, but that team is the top team in the nation and defending national champion Duke. </p>
<p>The full schedule:</p>
<p><u>Monday, November 29th</u><br>Virginia @ (17) Minnesota<br><u><br>Tuesday, November 30th</u><br>North Carolina @ (21) Illinois<br>(2) Ohio State @ Florida State<br>Michigan @ Clemson<br><b>Georgia Tech @ Northwestern</b><br>Iowa @ Wake Forest<br><br><u>Wednesday, December 1st</u><br><b>(6) Michigan State @ (1) Duke </b><br>(18) Purdue @ Virginia Tech <br>North Carolina State @ Wisconsin <br>Indiana @ Boston College <br>Maryland @ Penn State </p>
<p>From glancing at the <a href="http://espn.go.com/blog/collegebasketballnation/post/_/id/18986/expert-predictions-accbig-ten-challenge">ESPN expert panel's predictions</a>, it will be another close battle between the two conferences, as they have the Big 10 winning 6-5. The ACC teams that they have winning are Clemson, Boston College, Virginia Tech, Maryland, and Duke.</p>
<p>The marquee game is Wednesday's (6) Michigan State and (1) Duke matchup. This was going to be a #1 versus #2 battle, but Michigan State lost to Connecticut last week. </p>
<p>We will be covering the Georgia Tech and Northwestern game in a separate stream tomorrow, but come back here for updates on all ten of the other games. </p>
