Indiana vs. North Carolina Predictions
Indiana is 6-0 on the season while ranking No. 10 in the country. However, the Hoosiers haven’t really played any competition up to this point. Indiana narrowly escaped an upset against Xavier while pulling out an 81-79 road win. That was the only power conference team the Hoosiers have faced, so this game against UNC is their toughest test up to this point.
North Carolina is a little more battle-tested, but Tar Heels haven’t passed those tests up to this point. UNC’s five wins came as large favorites over small teams. The Tar Heels have lost two straight games, falling to No. 23 Iowa State 70-65 and then losing to No. 11 Alabama 103-101 (overtime) on Sunday. Both were neutral site contests.
Can the Tar Heels pick themselves up and keep this one close in a tough road atmosphere at Indiana? Two of UNC’s best players — Armando Bacot and Leaky Black — are expected to play through injuries in this game. The spread seems inflated due to North Carolina’s last two losses, which came in close games that could’ve gone either way. Let’s take the Tar Heels plus the points in this one.
