## Resource

The matchups for the 2026 ACC/SEC challenge have been revealed. Michael Malone and the Tar Heels will host John Calipari and his Arkansas Razorbacks on Tuesday, December 1. Will UNC be up to the challenge? Also, the ACC needs to win this challenge. The SEC dominated two years ago. Last year, the ACC had an early lead and let the SEC come back and ultimately win. In exciting news: the UNC Diamond Heels are headed back to the College World Series for the 2nd time in the last 3 seasons. No other teams have been repeat visitors in that stretch. And it's all thanks to a phenomenal weekend from UNC's starting pitching.
