Indiana Hosts Baylor Exhibition Game in Indianapolis

Indiana men's basketball hosts Baylor in an exhibition game on Sunday, October 26, 2025, at 1 p.m. ET in Indianapolis, marking the second-ever meeting between the programs. Both teams enter the contest with entirely new rosters and no returning scholarship players from the previous season, making this a significant preseason test especially for Indiana as it concludes exhibition play. Baylor, under 24th-year coach Scott Drew, features a heavily revamped roster with 10 transfers and a highly-ranked freshman class including five-star forward Tounde Yessoufou and Andre Iguodala II, son of NBA champion Andre Iguodala. Indiana, coached by Darian DeVries, is expected to showcase a modern offensive style emphasizing three-point shooting and views this game as a valuable barometer of their readiness for the regular season. The matchup highlights contrasting styles: Indiana's deliberate half-court offense versus Baylor's up-tempo and physical approach. Fans can stream the game on Big Ten Plus and tickets are available through GoFan, with the game serving as a preview for both teams before their official season openers.
