Indiana will host Marian University for an exhibition on Friday, November 1.

Marian announced the date for the contest in a release Wednesday afternoon:

The Marian men’s basketball team and new head coach Pat Knight have finalized and released their upcoming 2024-25 schedule. Knight, who is in his first season as the Marian head coach and eighth overall as a collegiate head coach, will begin his tenure on the Marian sidelines against his alma mater, Indiana University, on November 1.

Marian’s season will begin on November 1, as the Knights make their third trip in as many seasons to Indiana University for an exhibition against the Hoosiers. This will be the first time in Knight’s head coaching history that he will take on the Indiana Hoosiers, which served as home to the Marian coach from 1991-95 as a member of the men’s basketball team, and again during the 1999-2000 season when he was an assistant coach. Marian fell in last season’s exhibition contest at Indiana 94-61, and return 30 percent of the scoring from last year’s game with their 2024-25 roster.

The contest with Marian is the first and only exhibition announced so far for the 2024-25 season.

The Indiana non-conference schedule was finalized in early July and will feature eight games at Assembly Hall and three in the Bahamas as part of the Battle 4 Atlantis.
