Hoosiers Embrace USA Jersey Ahead of FISU Games
The Indiana Hoosiers recently showcased their new red, white and blue kit with a dominant 98‑64 win over Collège Jean‑de‑Brébeuf, using the exhibition to fine‑tune chemistry before a busy overseas schedule.
The victory was more than a scoreboard statement; it was a visual cue that the team will soon carry the Stars and Stripes onto the international stage, a prospect that left the bench and the crowd chanting “USA, USA, USA.”
Coach Darian DeVries, who has guided the Hoosiers for several seasons, described the jersey as a tangible reminder of the responsibility that comes with representing the United States, noting that the opportunity to wear the colors is both rare and deeply meaningful.
The upcoming FISU American Games in Peru will feature a group stage with eight teams, after which a single‑elimination bracket will determine the champion, giving the Hoosiers up to six games if they advance through each round.
DeVries emphasized that his players are expected to seize every chance to display the USA emblem, from the opening match against Brazil — the defending champions — to the potential showdown with the host nation Peru.
With a roster eager to prove itself and a schedule that could stretch to six contests, the Hoosiers are poised to turn a symbolic uniform into a catalyst for competitive growth and national pride.
