ACC/SEC Challenge 2025 Schedules Set in Multiple Locations

The 2025 ACC/SEC Challenge basketball matchups have been announced, featuring Ole Miss hosting Miami on December 2 in Oxford for the men's game, while Miami women's basketball will host Kentucky on December 3 in Coral Gables. Ole Miss, under coach Chris Beard, enters the challenge with a strong 2-0 record in the event and is rebuilding its roster with transfers and returners. Miami's men's team, now led by new head coach Jai Lucas following Jim Larranaga's retirement, has revamped its roster with several high-profile transfers, making the game against Ole Miss an early test for Lucas's tenure. The women's matchup pits Miami, coached by Tricia Cullop, against a Kentucky team that finished 23-8 last season and advanced to the NCAA Tournament's second round. Both the men's and women's ACC/SEC Challenges have seen growing competitiveness, with the SEC dominating the men's side in recent years and the women's side showing more balanced results. These matchups highlight significant coaching transitions and roster overhauls for both Miami basketball programs as they prepare for the 2025-26 season.
