We explain how UNC can take down Indiana in the Sweet 16

Top seeded North Carolina faces fifth-seeded Indiana in the Sweet 16 Friday night in Philadelphia.

Although the two teams haven’t met in the NCAA Tournament for 32 years, many remember their last meeting as the game that ended Michael Jordan’s college career. Indiana beat UNC in that 1984 East regional semifinal to move on to the Elite 8, sending Jordan and the Tar Heels home disappointed.
