So Wednesday night did not go as planned.
After a week of hype, the Heels bought into it and ended up on the losing side of Bloomington, Indiana.
There is no shame in a losing on the road to a ranked team. It should be a good learning experience for the Boys in baby blue.
They will get to put that learning into fruition Saturday when they return home to play Radford.
So what do the Heels need to know about the Highlanders?
