Key Points:
- Indiana University basketball continues its exhibition season with a game against North Carolina today at 5 p.m. ET, streaming exclusively on B1G+, the Big Ten’s streaming platform, with various subscription options available.
- A key focus for Indiana is maintaining strong rebounding, having dominated Butler on the boards in their previous exhibition; however, North Carolina presents a tougher challenge in this area, emphasizing the importance of second-chance points and defensive rebounding.
- Markus Burton, who showed scoring potential but was limited by foul trouble in the Butler game, is expected to play a crucial role, balancing scoring and distribution while defending against North Carolina’s bigger guards.
- The exhibition game will be played with near-regular season intensity, serving both as a competitive test against a high-major opponent and an opportunity for Indiana’s coaching staff to experiment with lineups and prepare the team for the upcoming season.
