Indiana University has released its non‑conference basketball schedule, confirming marquee games against Kentucky and Syracuse that will be played in Indianapolis. The Kentucky matchup, originally set for December 27, has been moved to November 20 to avoid a conflict with the Indianapolis Colts schedule. Tickets for the Syracuse game at Gainbridge Fieldhouse go on sale to the general public on June 4, and the schedule also includes contests against Eastern Illinois, Bellarmine and Bowling Green.
