    IU basketball to host Kennesaw State as part of 2023-24 nonconference schedule

    For the fourth time in 11 years, Kennesaw State will venture up to Bloomington for a December nonconference game with IU.

    According to a report by Rocco Miller, the Hoosiers will host KSU on Dec. 29 at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall.

    Indiana struggled against the Owls last December in a poorly attended game due to bitter cold temperatures.

    The Hoosiers were playing without arguably their two best players — Trayce Jackson-Davis and Xavier Johnson. And they trailed 22-15 in the first half in a game that felt like it could end up with a loss. Kennesaw State led by four with just 12 minutes remaining before IU pulled away late and won 69-55.

    But the Owls will look much different when they arrive in Bloomington this winter.

    Coach Amir Abdur-Rahim filled the head coaching vacancy of the South Florida Bulls, and top players Chris Youngblood, Brandon Stroud and Kasen Jennings followed him there.

    Under Abdur-Rahim, the trio contributed to the Owls winning a program-best 26 games, an ASUN conference title and the school’s first NCAA tournament appearance last year.

    But Kennesaw won’t be a pushover under new head coach Antoine Pettway, a former Alabama assistant who at one point was on the same Crimson Tide staff as IU assistant Yasir Rosemond.

    Point guard Terrell Burden and forward Demond Robinson signed on to return to KSU. They were the second and third leading scorers last season.  And Pettway has added a number of players from the high school and transfer portal ranks, including West Virginia forward Jamel King, and Marcus Whitlock, a high school teammate of IU freshman Jakai Newton.

    Indiana leads the all-time series 3-0.  They also hosted Kennesaw State in 2013 and 2015, and won those games 90-66 and 99-72, respectively.

    28 of IU’s 31 games on the 2023-24 schedule are now known.  Here is the latest:
