College basketball fans can tune in to the Indiana Hoosiers and North Carolina Tar Heels exhibition game at 5 p.m. ET on Sunday, Oct. 18. The matchup takes place at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, offering an early look at two programs seeking to rebound from recent postseason disappointments. While the specific television broadcast channel was not detailed in the initial release, fans can secure a live audio feed through the Varsity Network on 105.1 FM in Bloomington, or 93.5 and 107.5 FM in Indianapolis.
DeVries and Malone meet in Indianapolis for a high-stakes exhibition clash.
Indiana enters this contest under the leadership of Darian DeVries, who is navigating his second season as head coach. The Hoosiers finished the previous campaign with an 18-14 record, a performance that ultimately left them narrowly outside the NCAA Tournament bracket. This exhibition serves as a critical early test for DeVries’ squad as they aim to correct course and secure a return to the major dance this year.
On the other side, North Carolina welcomes new head coach Michael Malone, who is in his first season leading the Tar Heels. Malone takes over the program following the final season of longtime coach Herbert Davis, during which the team posted a strong 24-9 record but fell victim to an early exit in the NCAA Tournament opener. This game provides Malone with an immediate opportunity to establish his identity and assess his roster against a familiar Big Ten opponent.
