IOWA CITY, Iowa – The University of Iowa women’s basketball team heads to Durham, North Carolina, to take on Duke on Thursday, Dec. 2, as part of the 2021 Big Ten/ACC Challenge. It marks the pair’s second matchup.

The Big Ten and ACC offices collaborate to determine the challenge schedule each season. The Big Ten and ACC have been among the most competitive conferences on the national women’s basketball landscape for many years, with the two conferences sending 15 schools to the NCAA Tournament in 2020-21.

The Big Ten won the 2019 Big Ten/ACC Challenge, 9-5. Iowa defeated Princeton, 77-75, in overtime, posting the Tiger’s sole loss of the 2019-2020 season.
