Indiana’s men’s basketball team is gearing up for a two‑week adventure in Peru, where it will compete in the FISU America Games from July 20 through August 1.
Under head coach Darian DeVries, the Hoosiers will enjoy an unprecedented stretch of practice time, a luxury that could reshape their preparation for the upcoming campaign.
Building a New Identity
The roster will be anchored by only one scholarship player returning from last year, but the program has bolstered its depth with a highly touted transfer class that includes Markus Burton and Aiden Sherrell.
DeVries emphasized a balanced approach, targeting Power Four‑level experience and a versatile lineup that can adapt to the rigors of international competition.
This marks the fourth consecutive season that the team has embarked on an overseas trip, underscoring the coach’s commitment to using foreign tournaments as a learning laboratory.
Details of the Peru itinerary, including training sites and exhibition matchups, are slated for release later this summer.
