Indiana Men's Basketball to Play Marian in Exhibition Game on Homecoming Weekend

While Indiana basketball's roster and coaching staff is entirely new, one of its exhibition foes from years past remains the same.

The Hoosiers will face Marian University in an exhibition game Oct. 17, the program announced in a social media post Thursday. The tipoff time is still to be determined. It marks the third consecutive season Indiana and Marian play each other before the season.

Indiana took a 94-61 victory over Marian on Nov. 3, 2023, and a 106-64 win on Nov. 1, 2024. The Knights are coached by Pat Knight, who played at Indiana from 1991-95 and is the son of Hoosier great Bob Knight.

This year's iteration of Indiana vs. Marian takes place the Friday of Homecoming weekend, which has, in recent seasons, held Hoosier Hysteria. It's unclear if, or when, Hoosier Hysteria will occur in the first season under coach Darian DeVries.

Indiana begins its regular season Nov. 5 against Alabama A&M inside Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall.
