How To Watch Indiana Basketball vs. Marian Exhibition Game

The new-look Indiana Hoosiers take the court under head coach Darian DeVries on Friday in an exhibition game against Marian University, an NAIA program in Indianapolis.

After firing Mike Woodson following his fourth season with the Hoosiers, Indiana hired DeVries away from West Virginia, and he overhauled the roster with 13 new scholarship players and a new coaching staff. He primarily used the transfer portal to build his first team, bringing in notable players like his son, Tucker, who averaged 14.9 points per game at West Virginia last season, and Lamar Wilkerson, who scored 20.5 points per game on 44.5% 3-point shooting at Sam Houston State.

The exhibition game comes with Hoosier ties, as Marian is in its second season under head coach Pat Knight, the son of Hall of Fame coach Bob Knight, who won three national championships during his time in Bloomington from 1971-2000.

Here's more information on the matchup.
