Another opponent for Indiana’s 2024-25 season has been revealed.
X account Made for March is reporting Indiana will host Sam Houston on Tuesday December 3rd.
According to Bart Torvik, Sam Houston State was the No. 128 team in the nation a year ago. They finished with a 21-12 record, including a 13-3 mark in Conference USA, good for a first place regular season league finish. The Bearkats lost in the second round of their conference tournament and did not play in any other postseason tournaments.
Sam Houston played multiple high majors relatively close on the road last season. They lost at Oklahoma State 85-70, lost at Ole Miss 70-67, and lost at Arizona State 78-61.
The Bearkats lost second leading scorer Davon Barnes (13.5 PPG) to the transfer portal. Leading scorer Lamar Wilkerson (13.8 ppg), and scorers three through five Damon Nicholas (8.1), Marcus Boykin (7.3) and Cameron Huefner (7.8) — are all returning.
With 54% of their minutes returning in 2024-25, Torvik predicts Sam Houston State is the No. 106 team for 2024-25.
2023-24 was the first season for SHSU head coach Chris Mudge. He served as a manager under Rick Barnes at Texas.
The programs have met once before, a 2012 game the Hoosiers won 99-45 in Bloomington.
