There will be no general public fans in attendance at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall when the men’s basketball teams tips off later this month.
The Hoosiers will open their seasons at home against Tennessee Tech on Nov. 25, the first of seven non-conference games announced Tuesday.
Indiana will then travel to Asheville, N.C., for the Maui Invitational. The tournament was moved from Hawaii due to COVID-19. IU will play Providence in its tournament opener Nov. 30, then two more games over the next two days.
The Hoosiers play at Florida State on Dec. 9, then return home to host North Alabama on Dec. 13. Indiana wraps up the non-conference schedule against Butler at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis Dec. 19.
Following the attendance guidelines set forth by the Big Ten for football games, only family of athletes and staff will be admitted to Indiana’s home games. That policy will continue indefinitely.
That policy will also apply to the women’s basketball team, which has yet to release its schedule.
The Hoosier women are ranked No. 16 in the Associated Press preseason poll and were picked by the Big Ten coaches and media to win the conference this season. It’s the first time ever Indiana was picked as the Big Ten’s preseason favorite.
