The college basketball season is officially here. Indiana’s men’s program is set to tip-off 2026-27 against Eastern Illinois this evening at Assembly Hall in Bloomington.

The Hoosiers are coming off of a teardown and reload in the transfer portal, with just about every contributor from Darian DeVries’ first roster having either exhausted their eligibility or entered the transfer portal. Indiana reloaded with high-major talent with additional seasons of eligibility beyond this one, with a strong frontcourt pairing that’ll aim to be one of the top rebounding units in the country.
