UNC set to face Indiana in ACC/Big Ten Challenge

The UNC basketball program is set to face Indiana in the ACC-Big Ten Challenge this season.

The UNC basketball program is heading to Bloomington this Fall.

On Friday, college basketball reporter Jon Rothstein tweeted that North Carolina will travel to Indiana to face the Hoosiers in the ACC-Big Ten Challenge later this year. A few minutes later, he was right as the schedule was released for the annual event.

It will be the fifth time the two teams have met in the challenge with Indiana holding a 3-1 lead including winning all three at Assembly Hall.

This matchup will be one of the highlight games for the challenge and will aired on ESPN on November 30th.  UNC is currently the No. 1 team in most pre-season rankings while the Hoosiers are a Top 25 team in those rankings.

We could be looking at a potential Top 10 matchup early on for both teams.

Other matchups in the event include Ohio State at Duke, Virginia at Michigan,  Michigan State at Notre Dame, and Purdue at Florida State.
