A New Era for the Hoosiers
At a recent alumni gathering, Indiana University’s head coach Darian DeVries took the opportunity to outline the team’s tactical roadmap for the coming season, emphasizing a shift toward greater versatility and scoring diversity.
Central to the plan are the newly added transfers Bryce Lindsay and Jaeden Mustaf, whom DeVries expects to inject fresh energy and depth, allowing the Hoosiers to vary their offensive looks while still leveraging their renowned three‑point shooting.
Practice is slated to open on June 1, marking the start of an intensive preparation period in which the coaching staff will fine‑tune the new rotations and evaluate how the expanded arsenal can be deployed against Big Ten competition.
Last season Indiana attempted 28.3 three‑pointers per game, ranking 32nd nationally and outpacing all but three Big Ten rivals — Nebraska, Illinois and Wisconsin — setting the stage for a continued reliance on perimeter firepower.
DeVries believes the combination of sharper outside threats and a more fluid interior game will give the Hoosiers multiple ways to attack defenses, a prospect that excites both players and alumni alike.
Looking Ahead
Beyond the regular schedule, the team will represent the United States at the University Games in Peru this July, adding an international dimension to the season’s ambitions. With high aspirations and a competitive spirit, the Hoosiers are poised to turn their strategic adjustments into tangible results, aiming to climb the conference standings and make a deep run in both domestic and overseas competitions.
