🟥 #14 North Carolina vs #1 Indiana ⬜️
November 27th, 2012
The (6-0) Hoosiers get their first big test of the young season against the (5-1) Tar Heels. In this one Indiana dominated North Carolina, winning 83-59 in the ACC-Big Ten Challenge. Cody Zeller led Indiana with 20 points and eight rebounds, while Victor Oladipo added 19 points, five rebounds, and three steals. Jordan Hulls would contribute 13 points, including three three-pointers.
North Carolina struggled against Indiana's defense, shooting just 37% from the field. James Michael McAdoo, their leading scorer, was limited to 10 points on 4-of-15 shooting. Indiana's stifling defense and efficient shooting, particularly from beyond the arc (8-20 3pt FG), were key to their victory.
The win reinforced Indiana's top ranking and was their first marquee win of the season.
