The ACC/Big Ten Challenge gives us at least one more compelling high-profile match before the event dies and ceases to exist via television networks. According to Stubhub.com, secondary market prices are around $200, including fees.
“know [my players are] I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to play against a really good Indiana team,” said North Carolina manager Hubert Davis.[They’re] I look forward to the challenge. “
North Carolina enters this blue-blood showdown after losing preseason first place in the Associated Press Top 25 poll thanks to back-to-back losses to Iowa State and Alabama. The Tar Heels are currently 5-2 with no notable wins. Arguably, the start of the season was less than ideal. Meanwhile, Indiana has his 6-0 victory over Xavier as a resume highlight. This is one of the reasons he’s expected to extend North Carolina’s losing streak to his three games with the Hoosiers being his five-point favorite.
Still, I care little about UNC.
Were you surprised that Tar Heels were struggling again early on? Honestly, yes. But it’s important to remember that this coach (Hubert Davis) and these players (Armand Bacott, Caleb Love, Leakey Black, RJ Davis) have already proven they are great. is. Contrary to what many have suggested, it wasn’t just the result of “running through the NCAA Tournament.”
The truth is, the Tar Heels really got better in the weeks before the NCAA Tournament started. According to BartTorvik.com, this is his record of 11 wins and 2 losses in seven weeks where UNC performed like the top three teams in the sport.
Will UNC return to that level of play?
As always, we’ll see.
But at this point, given how they flipped the switch last February, it would be silly to assume that Tar Heels can’t or won’t emerge as a legitimate title contender again. So I’m still not comfortable excluding anything. Call it a lesson learned from last season.

As for the CBS Sports Top 25 And 1 Daily College Basketball Rankings, updated Wednesday morning, the Terrapins beat Louisville 79-54 on Tuesday, improving to 7-0 with seven double-digit wins. It pushed Maryland to number 20. Mississippi is in the rankings primarily because the Bulldogs are undefeated in a neutral-court victory over the Marquette team that beat Baylor 96-70 on Tuesday. Simply put, it is intellectually contradictory to rank Marquette and Baylor without ranking the undefeated Mississippi State team by beating the Marquette team that just crushed Baylor.
So Mississippi State is currently 21st, Marquette is currently 22nd, and Baylor is currently 23rd. Maryland moved up to his 20th place, Mississippi and Marquette were in the top 25, 21st each and he was 22nd and he was 1st, but UCLA, Auburn, San Diego and Ohio , pushed down Texas Tech University. In each he has three spots, no fault per se. So, Ohio State University and Texas Tech University are currently in 27th and 28th in the top 25 and 1st.
