A second high major nonconference game has emerged for IU basketball’s 2025-26 nonconference slate.
Who coaches that game for Indiana, however, remains to be seen.
The Hoosiers are finalizing a deal to play Marquette at the United Center in Chicago according to Jon Rothstein.
“Indiana and Marquette are finalizing an agreement to meet next season in a neutral site game at the United Center in Chicago, according to multiple sources,” Rothstein wrote on X for College Hoops Today.
Rothstein said the date for the game is still to be determined.
A game against Marquette would be the second known nonconference contest on IU’s schedule next season. The Hoosiers will also resume their series with Kentucky when they travel to Rupp Arena on Dec. 20.
Indiana is 8-2 all-time vs. Marquette. The last meeting came in 2018, when Indiana won 96-73 in Bloomington in what was probably their best performance of that season. Freshman Romeo Langford led IU with 22 points, and Evan Fitzner went 4-of-4 from three.
Marquette (18-6) is currently No. 18 in the AP Top-25. But both teams project to be in a bit of rebuild mode next season.
The Hoosiers will have a new head coach and several new players joining him on the roster.
Marquette coach Shaka Smart will be entering his fifth season leading the program next year. His top three scorers this season are all seniors.
