North Carolina At Chapel Hill

With the Big Ten/ACC Challenge set, how does the Indiana Hoosiers basketball team match up with the UNC Tar Heels? And can IU hang with one of the top teams in the country next season?

In a special crossover episode today, Locked on Hoosiers host Jacob Rude (@JacobRude) and Locked on Tar Heels host Isaac Schade (@isaacschade) discuss the IU-UNC game set to highlight this year’s Big Ten/ACC Challenge.

The Hoosiers have had the upper hand against North Carolina in the previous regular season in meetings in Assembly Hall. However, it’s been the Tar Heels that have bested the Hoosiers in the games that have mattered most.

A pair of big men in Trayce Jackson-Davis and Armando Bacot will highlight this year’s match-up. With the NBA shifting away from old-school big men, matchups like TJD vs. Bacot could become more commonplace in college.

The episode wraps by looking at the realignment madness going on across college athletics, including the big news of USC and UCLA joining the Big Ten. Isaac reacts as an outsider looking in on the latest news and whether we’re set for a pair of superconferences.
