Assembly Ball, the Indiana alumni team hosting The Basketball Tournament’s (TBT) regional alongside All Good Dawgs (Butler Alumni) at the Hinkle Fieldhouse from July 19-22, today announced the roster addition of Indiana alumnus Race Thompson.
Thompson returns after playing with the team in 2024 and joins Yogi Ferrell, James Blackmon Jr., and Troy Williams as the first four roster commitments for the 2025 Assembly Ball squad. Additional players will be announced in the coming weeks.
Thompson spent five seasons at Indiana (2018-23), playing in 130 career games for the Hoosiers and captaining the team for three years. Thompson helped lead the Hoosiers to two NCAA Tournaments. Thompson established himself as a starter as a junior, averaging 9.5 points 6.3 rebounds per game in his final three seasons at Indiana.
After graduating from Indiana, Thompson signed with the Memphis Hustle of the NBA G League. He averaged 7.3 points and 3.9 rebounds per game in the 2024-25 season.
The winner of the Indianapolis Regional will advance to TBT’s quarterfinals on July 28. The semifinals will be held on July 31, and TBT’s $1 million championship will be played on Aug. 3.
For the first time, TBT will give each host team the opportunity to have home court advantage for the quarterfinals, semifinals, and the $1 million championship game. Should two regional hosts face off, the tie breaker will be determined by which host sells 4,000 tickets the fastest.
