North Carolina Tar Heels at Indiana Hoosiers Betting Preview

30 November 2022 By Tyler Vaysman

The 2022 ACC/Big Ten Challenge is underway, and there is a monster game set to take place on Wednesday night. The Indiana Hoosiers host the North Carolina Tar Heels, and both teams look like Final Four contenders this season. 

North Carolina was in the national championship game a season ago, and they entered this year as the preseason number 1 team in the country. The Tar Heels come into this game having lost two straight, and they are now all the way down to number 18.

Indiana comes into this game with a perfect record of 6-0, and they are now in the Top 10. The Hoosiers have had a weak schedule up to this point, and this will be the toughest test of the year. 

The Indiana Hoosiers are 5.5-point betting favorites over the North Carolina Tar Heels on Wednesday night.

UNC Must Get Stops

The North Carolina Tar Heels are going to have to find a way to be better on the defensive end of the floor if they want to win this game. North Carolina is allowing over 75 points per game, and that includes giving up 103 points in a loss to Alabama. 

This Tar Heel team can light it up on the offensive end of the floor as they are scoring 83 points per game. UNC has both size and scoring from the perimeter, and that does make them a tough team to defend. 

Caleb Love is currently leading the team with 20 points per game, and he will be a big key in this one. UNC will also be looking to get the ball inside to Armando Bacot.

Hoosiers Lighting it Up

The offensive numbers for Indiana to begin the season are tremendous, but they haven’t been playing the best competition up to this point. Indiana is scoring 88.8 points per game this season while holding opponents to just 59 points per game. 

Trayce Jackson-Davis comes into this game scoring 18.8 points per game, and he is shooting 76 percent from the field. Jackson-Davis is an All-American candidate this season, but he will be facing some tough competition in this one.

Indiana will try to win this game on the defensive end, as that continues to be a strength. The Hoosiers have yet to lose a game, but they will have to play their best game of the year to remain undefeated.

Tar Heels Sneak Past the Hoosiers

This should be one of the best games of the night, and there are plenty of great post players set to appear in this one. Indiana has been terrific to begin the season, but they are a team that still needs to find better guard play. 

North Carolina has struggled on the defensive end of late, but this is still a team that can win games. The Tar Heels have experience playing in big games, and that will come into play in this matchup as the stars will shine bright. 

Take the North Carolina Tar Heels moneyline as they go on the road and pick up a huge win in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge.
