Indiana University’s men’s basketball team will host Collège Jean‑de‑Brébeuf in an exhibition contest at Assembly Hall on Wednesday, July 16, 2026, kicking off a series of preparations for the upcoming FISU American Games in Peru.
Game logistics and ticketing
Doors will open at 5:30 p.m. with complimentary parking available in Gates 2, 4, 12 and 14. Tickets start at $15 and can be purchased through the university’s athletics website, providing fans an affordable chance to see the Hoosiers in action before they head south.
The contest will be governed by FIBA rules and will not be televised or streamed, but the team plans to wear specially designed Team USA jerseys that were teased in a recent social‑media video. After the final buzzer, players including Khobie Martin, Tobi Osunsanmi, Nick Marsh, Shazz Preston, Ryland Gandy, Rolijah Hardy, Chiddi Obiazor, Davion Chandler, Joe Brunner and Michael Niziolek will sign autographs on the court, while IU football athletes will be stationed in the South Lobby for a separate signing event.
Looking ahead to Peru
From July 20 to August 1, Indiana will compete in the FISU American Games, a multi‑nation tournament that will bring together roughly twenty‑five countries from North, Central and South America as well as the Caribbean. Streaming will be available for those games, allowing fans back home to follow the team’s progress as it tests its new uniforms and chemistry on an international stage.
The exhibition against Collège Jean‑de‑Brébeuf serves as a crucial warm‑up, giving the coaching staff a chance to evaluate depth, experiment with lineups and fine‑tune strategies before the competitive window opens. The event underscores the program’s commitment to both domestic development and global exposure, positioning the Hoosiers as a rising force in the lead‑up to the Peru Games.
