Indiana University’s men’s basketball team is set to open its summer schedule with an exhibition matchup against Collège Jean‑de‑Brébeuf on Wednesday night at the Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall in Bloomington.
A Summer Test for the Hoosiers
Tipoff is slated for 7 p.m. Eastern, but the game will not be televised, streamed or broadcast on radio, leaving fans to follow the action only in person or via live updates.
The frontcourt pairing of Aiden Sherrell and Samet Yigitoglu will make its first summer appearance together, offering a glimpse of a versatile big‑man combination that can stretch the floor and finish at the rim.
Markus Burton, the newly minted starting point guard, is expected to make his debut after missing most of last season with a foot injury; coaches will watch closely as he balances scoring with playmaking duties.
Perimeter shooting will be a cornerstone of the Hoosiers’ game plan, with sharpshooters Darren Harris and Bryce Lindsay projected to contribute heavily from beyond the arc.
Fresh Faces Take the Court
Three of IU’s four freshmen are slated to see their first action in Assembly Hall, including Prince‑Alexander Moody, who could earn a rotation spot, and versatile forward Vaughn Karvala, a perimeter threat who also finishes above the rim.
Trevor Manhertz, another freshman, is expected to operate primarily as a spot‑up shooter, while Clemens Sokolov, the fourth newcomer, was still off campus at the time of the open practice.
The exhibition serves as a low‑stakes laboratory for head coach Darian DeVries and his staff to evaluate chemistry, test new rotations and fine‑tune strategies ahead of the regular season.
