State College, Pa. - June 29, 2005 -- The seventh annual Big Ten/ACC Challenge match-ups have been determined as the 2005 event will increase to 11 games for the first time. Penn State will host Clemson on Tuesday, Nov. 29, at 8 p.m. in the Bryce Jordan Center.

The new, expanded event - increasing from nine games in the six previous years - will include two telecasts on ESPNU, the new 24-hour college sports network. ESPN and ESPN2 will combine to televise the other nine games, marking the fourth consecutive year every game will be televised nationally.

Since 2000, these two conferences have combined to make 13 Final Four appearances and captured four of the last six NCAA Championships. In addition, the ACC and Big Ten rank either first or second in all-time NCAA Tournament bids, victories and Final Four appearances.
