Another piece to Michigan and Michigan State basketball’s nonconference schedule has been revealed.
Michigan will host Virginia on Nov. 29 and Michigan State will travel to Notre Dame on Nov. 30 in the 2022 ACC/Big Ten Challenge, it was announced Friday.
This marks the first meeting between Michigan and Virginia since 2011 and the second encounter in the annual series. It will also be the first time the Cavaliers will visit Crisler Center.
The Michigan State-Notre Dame matchup is the third time the two teams will square off in the event. The Fighting Irish squeezed out a 79-78 overtime win in South Bend, Indiana, in 2014 and the Spartans rolled to an 81-63 victory in East Lansing in 2017.
