Clemson will host Nebraska in the 2018 ACC/Big Ten Challenge, as first reported by CBS basketball reporter Jon Rothstein.

It's the second trip for the Cornhuskers to Clemson in the last three seasons, after Brad Brownell's group won 60-58 in 2016. The game will be played on Nov. 26 with a time and TV network to be determined.

Clemson played at Ohio State in last year's version and pulled off the upset in style with a 79-65 win.

The Tigers are coming off of a Sweet 16 run and return four starters, including three with 30-plus starts after guards Marcquise Reed and Shelton Mitchell decided to withdraw their names from the NBA draft this week.

Other reported ACC/Big Ten matchups include NC State at Wisconsin, Purdue at Florida State, Michigan State at Louisville, Virginia at Maryland, North Carolina at Michigan, Syracuse at Ohio State and Indiana at Duke.
