Bears' ACC/SEC Challenge Matchup Announced

The California women's basketball team will compete in its second ACC/SEC Challenge game next season as matchups across both conferences were announced by ESPN on Thursday. The Golden Bears will travel to Missouri on Dec. 4 as part of the annual cross-conference matchups, which began in 2023-24. Gametimes and broadcast designations will be announced at a later date.

Two SEC matchups. Nice. Or C'est magnifique!!

fyi. Louisville played UCLA in Paris to open their season on November 4 last year.
The game was on ESPN2. Hopefully we get similar media coverage or perhaps the ACC Network.

Oh I might just have to go to Paris. A bit chilly, but nice time to go. . Would rather visit France than some other away game options.

Are you saying that you'd prefer going to Paris over Columbia, Missouri? Wikipedia says that Columbia is "The Athens of Missouri" -- not sure if that's the Athens in Greece or in Georgia -- and that Kansas City, just 2 hours away, is the "Paris of the Plains".

Meanwhile, we already know a little bit about the ACC schedule. No dates yet, but the matchups are the opposite of last season, in that every road opponent back then becomes a home opponent now, and vice versa.

Home: Stanford, SMU, Clemson, Wake Forest, Duke, Virginia, Virginia Tech, Louisville, Notre Dame

Away: Stanford, Pitt, Florida State, Miami, Georgia Tech, NC State, North Carolina, Syracuse, Boston College
