This is Amelia Rayno's second season on the Gophers' basketball beat. She learned college basketball in North Carolina (Go Tar Heels!), where fanhood is not an option. In 2010, she joined the Star Tribune after graduating from Boston's Emerson College, which sadly had no exciting D-I college hoops to latch onto. Amelia has also worked on the sports desk at the Boston Globe and interned at the Detroit News.

The Gophers will play at Florida State on Tuesday, Nov. 27 in this fall’s 14th annual ACC/Big Ten Challenge according to a press release made available today.

 
It will be the fourth meeting between Minnesota (ranked No. 25 in ESPN’s preseason poll) the Seminoles, who finished 25-10 last season, including 12-4 in the ACC, and were ranked No. 15 postseason but are not ranked in ESPN’s preseason poll.
 
Other highlights of the challenge are No. 13 North Carolina at No. 1 Indiana, No. 6 NC State at No. 5 Michigan and No. 8 Ohio State at No. 15 Duke. The ACC and Big Ten sent a combined 11 teams to the NCAA tournament last year: Duke, Florida State, UNC, NC State, Virginia, Indiana, Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, Purdue and Wisconsin.
