Indiana’s men’s basketball program will open its summer schedule with an exhibition contest against Collège Jean‑de‑Brébeuf on July 15, held at the Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall.
The Hoosiers are also set to lock in a non‑conference showdown with the University of Missouri on December 18 in Bloomington, a game that will mark the first meeting in the state in several years and preclude any return trip to Columbia.
The series between the two schools sits at an even 9‑9, but Missouri has taken the last three meetings, the most recent a 73‑68 victory in Columbia during the 1999‑2000 season; Indiana has not posted a win at Assembly Hall against the Tigers since 1968.
Missouri entered the previous season with a 20‑13 overall record and a 10‑8 mark in SEC play, only to fall 80‑66 to the University of Miami in the opening round of the NCAA tournament.
Key contributors Mark Mitchell and Jayden Stone have graduated, and the Tigers have bolstered their roster with a transfer class ranked 14th nationally and fifth in the SEC.
Indiana, meanwhile, finished the 2025‑26 campaign with an 18‑14 record but missed the NCAA tournament for the third straight year, a streak that adds urgency to the upcoming exhibition slate, which also includes games against the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Western Kentucky University.
Both programs are leveraging the exhibition schedule to fine‑tune new systems, integrate transfer talent, and generate early momentum as they head into a pivotal regular season.
A new chapter for the Hoosiers
The exhibition matches provide a rare opportunity to see how the revamped rosters will mesh under new coaching directions, and they will be closely watched by analysts tracking the impact of recent portal moves.
