Report: IU basketball to host Bellarmine for non-conference game next fall

According to a report on Sunday evening, a second non-conference opponent for IU basketball’s 2026-27 season is now known.

Jon Rothstein reported that the Hoosiers will host Bellarmine at Assembly Hall on Thursday, November 5.

The Knights, members of the ASUN conference, are based in Louisville, Kentucky and are 11-13 this season and No. 263 in KenPom as of Sunday evening.

The Hoosiers have never played the Knights in a regular-season game, but they hosted them for an exhibition in the 2015-16 season.

The other known non-conference game for the Hoosiers next season is Kentucky. That matchup will take place at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis in December as the second game in a four-game series between the two programs.
