Ohio State will host North Carolina Nov. 28

COLUMBUS (AP) -- Conference champions Ohio State and North Carolina will square off on Nov. 28 at Value City Arena in the featured game of the Big Ten/ACC Challenge.

North Carolina standout Tyler Hansbrough has announced he is returning to play for the Tar Heels.
Ohio State is awaiting word on whether center Greg Oden, point guard Mike Conley Jr. and swing-man Daequan Cook will return or jump to the NBA after their freshman season.
Other Big Ten/ACC Challenge games in November include the first meeting between Wisconsin when it travels to Duke, along with Wake Forest at Iowa, Georgia Tech at Indiana, Minnesota at Florida State, Northwestern at Virginia, Purdue at Clemson, North Carolina State at Michigan State, Illinois at Maryland, Boston College at Michigan and Virginia Tech at Penn State.
Ohio State is playing in the event for the sixth year in a row.
