IU Basketball Sets Up Exhibition Clash with Collège Jean‑de‑Brébeuf Ahead of Peru Showdown

A look at the new-look roster, key storylines and the road to the FISU America Games

Indiana University’s men’s basketball team will open its summer schedule with an exhibition match against Collège Jean‑de‑Brébeuf on Wednesday, July 15, 2026, at 7 p.m. ET, inside the iconic Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall in Bloomington, Indiana.

The game serves as a warm‑up for the Hoosiers as they gear up for the FISU America Games in Lima, Peru, which begin just days later, adding an extra layer of intensity to the upcoming competition.

Coach Mike Woodson and his staff have used the offseason to reshape the roster, bringing in a mix of experienced transfers and promising freshmen who are expected to inject new energy into the lineup.

Key Storylines to Watch

Darren Harris, now in his second year after a stint at Duke, is slated to assume a larger offensive role, while freshman Prince‑Alexander Moody looks ready to earn minutes on the wing.

Markus Burton, the team’s revamped backcourt anchor, is expected to lead the charge, supported by Jaeden Mustaf, who chose IU after being courted twice and is eager to make an impact.

Veteran shooters such as Vaughn Karvala have impressed during summer workouts, and newcomers like Aiden Sherrell and Samet Yigitoglu bring size and experience to a frontcourt that is still finding its identity.

Freshman Trevor Manhertz, focused on building confidence, rounds out a group that blends youthful optimism with seasoned polish, all under the watchful eye of the Indiana University athletic department.
