Will Indiana make Tar Heels the latest Crying Jordan victim?

Posted Mar 25, 2016
Indiana and North Carolina meet again in the Sweet 16 on Friday night in Philadelphia, and while the star power isn't as blindingly brilliant this time, some similarities to that 1984 matchup exist. The Tar Heels are once again a No. 1 seed and tournament favorite, just as they were 32 years ago. Indiana is a No. 5 seed with seven losses; in '84, it was a No. 4 seed with eight losses.
