How To Watch Indiana Basketball vs Marquette

Indiana had no issue dominating Alabama A&M on Wednesday and cruising to a 98-51 win in its first game under head coach Darian DeVries. Five players scored 14-plus points, and the Hoosiers' defense held their opponent to 34% shooting.

Sunday's game against Marquette in Chicago should be a much better test for Indiana, going up against a team that has reached the NCAA Tournament each of the past four seasons while finishing fifth or better in a competitive Big East Conference. In their fifth season under Shaka Smart, the Golden Eagles are off to a 2-0 start, but Sunday is also their first major challenge of the season.

Indiana essentially lost its entire team from last season, and Marquette had to replace its top three scorers, so there's a level of uncertainty with both teams going into the year. Neither team made the first AP Top 25 poll, but a key nonconference win on Sunday would be a step in the right direction early on.

Here's more information on the matchup.

He averaged 10.5 points per game last season as a starter while shooting 36.5% from 3-point range. Ross will be the go-to scorer this season after Marquette lost its top three scorers from last season: Kam Jones (19.2 ppg), David Joplin (14.2 ppg) and Stevie Mitchell (10.7 ppg).

Marquette did not add any players through the transfer portal, but it brought in a five-man freshman class that's ranked No. 20 in the nation, including Adrien Stevens (No. 78), Nigel James Jr. (No. 86), Michael Phillips II (No. 105), Ian Miletic (No. 111) and Sheek Pearson (No. 119).
