One of Indiana’s last non-conference matchups is against Northern Kentucky on Dec. 22 at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall, per D1 Docket. This game will mark the first ever meeting between the Hoosiers and the Norse.
NKU is entering its seventh season as a member of the Horizon League. Even though the program has only been a full Division I member since 2016, the Norse have reached the NCAA tournament more recently than the Hoosiers in both 2017 and 2019. NKU fell to No. 2 seed Kentucky in 2017 and No. 3 seed Texas Tech in 2019.
In his third season at NKU, the program is led by head coach Darrin Horn.
