We already know a few opponents on the 2022-23 UNC basketball schedule as the Tar Heels are set to run it back with four of their five starters from a year ago returning. The excitement going into the season is at an all-time high and rightfully so.
The Tar Heels will be one of the title favorites when the season opens up and a big reason why is the return of senior forward [autotag]Armando Bacot[/autotag].
Bacot put together his best season in college a year ago and is one of the best players returning in the country. As his busy offseason continues on, Bacot had a fun back-and-forth with Indiana’s Trayce Jackson-Davis about the two teams facing off in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge:

The Tar Heels and Hoosiers are no strangers in the annual challenge which pits teams from the ACC against the Big Ten. They have met a total of four times in the challenge, with Indiana holding a 3-1 lead in that department.
Three of those four have been at Assembly Hall in Bloomington with UNC’s lone win being the game in the Dean Dome.
UNC is already set to take on Michigan and Ohio State at neutral sites, which leaves just a very few primetime matchups for them in the challenge. And the biggest one is probably Indiana.
Let’s see if the schedule makers grant their wish.
