Jackson-Davis has been dealing with a thumb injury, but he’s not going to let that keep him from this game between these two powerhouses.
The No. 10 Hoosiers are coming off their 90-51 win over Jackson State to move to 6-0 on the season, meanwhile, the No. 18 Tarheels are coming off a tough four-overtime loss to No. 11 Alabama, 103-101 in the Phil Knight Classic.
This is the Hoosiers’ first real test of the season and is part of the B1G/ACC Challenge, which will be shown nationally on ESPN.
