EAST LANSING, Mich. - In the 15th edition of the ACC/Big Ten Challenge, the Michigan State women's basketball team will host Georgia Tech on Thursday, Dec. 1. The matchups for the 2022 ACC/Big Ten Challenge were announced by both conferences on Tuesday.
This is the second-straight season that MSU has an ACC opponent hosted after a year hiatus in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
This is the second meeting between Michigan State and Georgia Tech in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge. Overall, the series between the Yellow Jackets and the Spartans is tied, 1-1. Michigan State captured the last meeting in 2014, 79-73, in a come-from-behind overtime battle.
Michigan State is 6-8 all-time in the Challenge. MSU won its inaugural contest, 68-51, over Clemson at the Breslin Center in 2007, before a 2008 loss to Georgia Tech. In 2009, Michigan State upset No. 4 North Carolina, 72-66, in East Lansing, and followed it up with a come-from-behind upset at No. 15 Florida State, 72-64, in 2010. In 2011, MSU lost to No. 9 Miami, 76-60, at the Breslin Center, but bounced back to win at NC State, 68-51, in 2012. In 2013, the Spartans remained on the road but lost to Florida State, 60-58.
In 2014, Michigan State came-from-behind to capture a 79-73 overtime win against Georgia Tech. In 2015, Louisville came out fast and despite a second-half comeback by MSU, the Cardinals captured the win, 85-78. The Spartans traveled to No. 21 Syracuse, falling to the Orange in the Carrier Dome, 75-64 in 2016. Michigan State was stopped at Miami in 2017 by the score of 67-57. In 2018, the Spartans dominated Virginia at home, 91-66, which was MSU's largest margin of victory in a Challenge game. In 2019, Michigan State fell on the road to Florida State in another tight battle, 78-68, in Tallahassee. After the brief hiatus in 2020-21, MSU lost to Notre Dame, 76-71, in East Lansing last season.
The Spartans completed the 2021-22 campaign with a 15-15 overall record and a 8-9 mark in conference play. MSU was led by All-American senior Nia Clouden, who averaged 20.0 points per game. The Spartans welcome back two starters in All-B1G freshmen DeeDee Hagemann and Matilda Ekh.
Game times, as well as television and streaming video coverage, for the 2022 ACC/B1G Women's Basketball Challenge will be announced at a later date. All Big Ten home games in this year's Challenge will appear on either the Big Ten Network (BTN), Big Ten Network+ or one of the ESPN networks, while ACC home games in the Challenge will be shown on either the ACC Network, ACC Network Extra or one of the ESPN networks.
