Here are a few story lines regarding the Nov. 30 game against UNC:
Indiana to play Xavier in Cincinnati for the Gavitt Games.
Shared this on Twitter also, there are several Xavier ties to IU:
- Asst Kenya Hunter was an asst there under Sean Miller
- Asst Brian Walsh was a player there, recruited by Sean Miller and Hunter
- Jerome Hunter still plays for Xavier
Can confirm report on Twitter by Rocco Miller, Indiana will face Elon as part of the nonconference schedule.
Indiana has released its full non-conference schedule for 22-23. A few notes:
- There will be two exhibition games
- The two previously unknown opponents are Morehead St and Bethune Cookman
- The Xavier game is on a Friday night in Cincinnati
- There are no Saturday conflicts with IU football
- Two Big Ten games will likely fit into the Dec 1-9 window.
