Indiana will host Division I transition program Merrimack as part of its 2021-22 non-conference schedule according to a report late Wednesday from Jon Rothstein.

The Warriors, members of the Northeast Conference, finished last season 9-9 and played conference games only due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Merrimack finished last season 287th in the KenPom ratings.

Back in the 2019-20 season, Merrimack beat Northwestern 71-61 at Welsh-Ryan Arena for its first Division I win.

This is the second confirmed game for the Hoosiers next season. Indiana is also slated to play Notre Dame in the 2021 Crossroads Classic at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.
