Following weeks of anticipation, Indiana finally had its chance at revenge Wednesday night when they faced No. 3 North Carolina in the Big Ten-ACC Challenge.

The Hoosiers delivered, starting the game on a 5-0 run and leading by 17 less than nine minutes into the game.

North Carolina cut the deficit to four with 4:52 remaining but the Hoosiers responded, topping the Tar Heels 76-67 and winning their 21st consecutive game inside Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall.

It was a complete effort from nearly start to finish. All five starters scored in double figures. Six players grabbed at least three rebounds.
