Intriguing road games highlight Big Four men's basketball schedules

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) -- Pack a suitcase if you want to see the most interesting non-conference men's basketball games for North Carolina's Big Four programs.

The Atlantic Coast Conference released its composite schedule yesterday and each of the state's four schools is slated to make at least one highly anticipated out-of-conference road trip.

North Carolina will play at Kentucky and at national runner-up Ohio State. Duke will play Pittsburgh at Madison Square Garden and is headed to Hawaii for a Thanksgiving week tournament.

North Carolina State will visit Michigan State, then make a rare trip to East Carolina. Wake Forest will play at Iowa and visit a pair of Southeastern Conference teams.
