Indiana Announces Dates For Nonconference Basketball Games in 2025-26 Season

Indiana released the dates and opponents for their 11 nonconference basketball games this winter, with showdowns against Kentucky and Louisville highlighting the slate.

The Hoosiers and Wildcats will renew their rivalry on Dec. 13 in Lexington, Ky., and the Hoosiers and Cardinals will play a week earlier in Indianapolis. IU has a game against Marquette in Chicago, plus seven home games, highlighted by a game with Kansas State of the Big 12 on Nov. 25.

"It was important to our staff that we put together a schedule that prepares us for the intensity of a 20-game Big Ten schedule," Indiana coach Darian DeVries said in a release from the school. "We were able to get some regional rivals in high-profile venues that will get us ready for the tough environments we will see this season in league play.

"We are also excited to get our first taste of Hoosier Nation with eight games at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall."
