Wolfpack coach Kevin Keatts is 2-1 in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge during his three years in Raleigh. The Pack defeated Penn State in his first season and split home-and-homes with Wisconsin in the past two years.

Michigan is in year two of head coach Juwan Howard's tenure with the Wolverines. Michigan finished last season 19-12 overall with a 10-10 record in the Big Ten. They return three of its five double-digit scorers from that team. Howard also welcomes a four-player recruiting class that includes a trio of four-star prospects.

The Wolfpacker will have more on NC State's developing men's basketball schedule as more information is released.
