Miami Hoops at Nebraska - ESPNU, 9 p.m.

CORAL GABLES, Fla. – The University of Miami men’s basketball team will face Nebraska Dec. 1 on ESPNU at 9 p.m. as part of the 17th annual Big Ten/ACC Challenge, ESPN announced Tuesday.

The trip will mark Miami’s third visit to Lincoln and second as part of the ACC/Big Ten Challenge; Miami fell to the Huskers at Pinnacle Bank Arena in 2013.

In Larrañaga’s four seasons at Miami, the Canes defeated No. 13/14 Michigan State in 2012 and No. 15/15 Illinois in 2014, and fell at Purdue (2011) and at Nebraska (2013) as part of the Challenge.

Since joining the league for the 2004-05 season, the Canes have played in eight of the 11 Challenges. Overall, Miami is 3-5 in the Challenge, with a 3-1 record at home and 0-4 mark on the road. UM’s first victory in the event was against Minnesota in 2009.

ESPN networks will combine to cover every game of the 17th annual Big Ten/ACC Challenge, highlighted by a possible matchup of the top-two teams in the nation when No. 1 Maryland travels to No. 2 North Carolina. Three 2015 Final Four participants will also play in the event: national champion Duke, Wisconsin and Michigan State. ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPNU will televise the 14 games of the ACC/Big Ten Challenge – including all 14 Big Ten schools and 14 of 15 ACC teams – from Monday, Nov. 30 through Wednesday, Dec. 2.

The Big Ten captured last year’s Commissioner’s Cup, winning eight of the 14 matchups. The two conferences split the previous two events, winning six Challenge games each in 2012 and 2013. The ACC won the first 10 Challenges (1999-2008), while the Big Ten won the next three (2009-2011). In the event of a tie, the Commissioner’s Cup remains with the conference that won the previous year.
