The Ohio State Buckeyes men’s basketball team will make their first ever trip to Durham, North Carolina on November 28 to play Duke as part of the Big Ten/ACC Challenge.

The two teams will meet just 12 months after Ohio State destroyed the Blue Devils by 22 points in Columbus. Led by strong outings from Jared Sullinger (21 points), William Buford (20 points), Deshaun Thomas (18 points) and Aaron Craft (17 points), the Buckeyes dismantled No. 3 Duke in front of a sold-out Value City Arena.

The Buckeyes will be replacing Sullinger and Buford this season, but talented recruiting classes in the past have landed the Buckeyes a No. 8 ranking in ESPN’s early poll. The Blue Devils will be replacing Austin Rivers and Miles Plumlee but return a solid core that includes Ryan Kelly, Seth Curry and Quinn Cook.

Game time and networks are TBD.

Here’s the complete lineup for this year’s Big Ten/ACC Challenge:

Tuesday, November 27:

North Carolina @ Indiana
North Carolina State @ Michigan
Minnesota @ Florida State
Maryland @ Northwestern
Iowa @ Virginia Tech
Nebraska @ Wake Forest

Wednesday, November 28:

Ohio State @ Duke
Virginia @ Wisconsin
Michigan State @ Miami
Purdue @ Clemson
Georgia Tech @ Illinois
Boston College @ Penn State
