One of the more fun events for Notre Dame men’s basketball is the ACC/SEC Challenge, and according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports, the Irish will be hosting Missouri.

Both teams went different paths last year, as the Tigers went 22-11 during the regular season, then lost to Drake in the first-round of the NCAA Tournament. As for Notre Dame, they went 15-18 and didn’t make the postseason.

The Irish hold the all-time series lead with a 27-12 record according to Google’s AI Overview. However, the last time these two was played in 2011, and that one didn’t go the Irish’s way.

The two conferences feature some very good teams, as the rest of the slate has plenty of must-watch games. Florida at Duke, North Carolina at Kentucky , Virginia at Texas are a few of the best. The clash between the ACC and SEC will be a fun watch.

Hopefully head coach Micah Shrewsberry turns the program around this year, as he’s compiled a 28-38 record, missing the tournament both times. It was a slight improvement last year, but with an improved roster, Notre Dame has a chance to play in the postseason this coming season.
