There are high expectations on the Michigan basketball team for the 2012-13 season, and they are going to get an early test.

The Wolverines, ranked No. 5 in a very early ESPN preseason poll, will host sixth-ranked North Carolina State on Nov. 27 as part of the 14th annual ACC/Big Ten Challenge, the network announced Monday.

The Wolfpack went to the Sweet 16 last year, led by forward C.J. Leslie, and have almost their entire team back. Like Michigan, they also have one of the country's best recruiting classes.

No. 9 Michigan State will travel to Florida for the event, playing Miami on Nov. 28.
