A Preparatory Clash in Bloomington
Indiana University's men's basketball team will host Collège Jean‑de‑Brébeuf at Assembly Hall on Wednesday, July 16, 2026, with tip‑off scheduled for 7 p.m. Eastern Time. The exhibition is part of the Hoosiers' preparation for the forthcoming FISU American Games in Peru, using the event as a final dress rehearsal before competition begins.
Tickets for the game go on sale through IU's official ticketing portal, with prices starting at $15. Fans can secure seats online and will have the opportunity to watch the Hoosiers wear specially designed Team USA jerseys during the contest, a nod to the upcoming international tournament.
The matchup will be played under FIBA rule set, ensuring that the experience mirrors official international competition. After the final buzzer, Indiana players will stay on the court for autograph sessions, signing memorabilia for the crowd.
The autograph session will feature a roster that includes Khobie Martin, Tobi Osunsanmi, Nick Marsh, Shazz Preston, Ryland Gandy, Rolijah Hardy, Chiddi Obiazor, Davion Chandler and Joe Brunner, who are expected to interact with fans on the court.
In a separate pre‑game activity, IU football players will gather in the South Lobby of Assembly Hall, offering an additional chance for supporters to meet athletes from both sports before the game begins.
Collège Jean‑de‑Brébeuf, a well‑known institution in Quebec, will travel to Bloomington to compete, marking a cross‑border encounter that highlights the global reach of university athletics.
