IU basketball concludes its five-game homestand on Saturday afternoon when it hosts Bethune-Cookman at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. The Wildcats, picked to win the Southwestern Athletic Conference in the preseason, are 2-5.
It will be the second-ever meeting between the two programs. IU won the first meeting 101-49 on Nov. 10, 2022, in Bloomington.
After a pair of subpar performances against Incarnate Word and Lindenwood, IU basketball returned to its early-season form in an 86-69 rout of Kansas State on Thursday in Bloomington.
The Hoosiers will look to build on that performance against Bethune-Cookman, coached by Reggie Theus, who played 15 seasons in the NBA.
