With UNC and Michigan scheduled to play in the Jumpman Invitational this year I would almost guarantee we play UNC at Assembly Hall in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge. We are coming off 2 straight road games in the challenge and they have had it at home 2 of the last 3 years. 

From your lips to God’s ears…..

Would be pretty cool to play both championship game participants next season. 

Except this season when we go 2-0 early against Kansas and UNC, please don't let the wheels fall off a few games later, like last time.

UNC at the Hall and potentially a Top 20 matchup? Yes please

If we win @ KU and beat UNC the hype will be incredible! Maybe justifiably so. I'm with you though, so tired of disappointments and ready for an IU team- any IU team in any sport- to exceed expectations for once. Football flirted with it and then crashed back to historic putricity. 

That is why I watch soccer instead, at least they win

We'll probably get Notre Dame at home in the challenge and play at Butler for the Gavitt games just to give some idiots on Twitter a "Crossroads revenge" narrative to tweet about for a few weeks.

Man...back to back weekends going to play UA at MGM and playing KU at Phog. This non-con is going to be nutty.

This is great to see.  Kansas, Arizona and I bet we will be playing one of the top 4 “brand names” in the ACC Challenge.

I agree....in the format it has been. I'd love to see the Crossroads Classic kept around in a modified format. None of the Indiana teams play each other. Make it a 4 game Saturday or a 2 and 2 Sat/Sun split. Rotate the teams that are invited each season from all over the country. Make it an event to feature hoops in the state of Indiana. Hypothetically, imagine a lineup like this:

Butler vs. Cincinnati

Notre Dame vs. Texas 

Purdue vs. Villanova

Indiana vs. North Carolina 

the next season:

Butler vs. Louisville

Notre Dame vs. Florida

Purdue vs. Arizona

Indiana vs. Gonzaga

Of course you have to make sure it's a non-conference opponent for all teams, and nothing conflicts with the B1G/ACC challenge or gavitt games. It may not get 4 incredible matchups every season, but it would be an incredible weekend in my opinion.

Based on the early preseason rankings my guess for the ACC-B1G is UNC (top 4 team) or Virginia (top 25 team). Personally would like to see IU play a top 25 team at home, away, and a neutral site. Looks like we are getting that next year. Glad the Non-Conference schedule is beefing up.

Insert Caddyshack "We're waiting" GIF. 

I've said all along I think Trayce is just leaving little hints that he is coming back. If he was gone he probably wouldn't really care.

Maybe except Rob is gone it looks like he still cares. I think he'll be back but I don't read too much into him caring.

Why not add some mid majors like Wichita State, Dayton, VCU, St. Mary’s, etc.  

I like the concept.  I also would like to see it become a tournament!

Of course. It’s highly unlikely 4 high major teams would be scheduled. But all of the programs you mentioned would be great to rotate in. 

[VO5]

This is bigtime. If we get UNC in the challenge that would be Kansas, Arizona, and UNC in our noncon..yes please.

I’ll take it! It’s getting a lot closer to what I’ve been wanting for years!

Marquee games like Arizona and Kansas on the schedule are fantastic.  But, a non-conference schedule that truly prepares a team needs to include some quality mid-majors.

I think that is the area where IU has failed the last several years.  It's been a few high profile games and a lot of sub-300 low majors.

The schedule needs a few A-10, Missouri Valley, WCC, etc. level games on it as well.
