No. 18 Indiana plays its final nonconference game on Friday night, hosting Kennesaw State at Assembly Hall. Here's how to watch, with all your TV information, top players, coaching bios and more.
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Indiana wraps up the nonconference portion of its 2022-23 basketball season on Friday night, taking on a small but scrappy Kennesaw State team that's won eight games already this season.
This is the last of 11 nonconference games for the Hoosiers, who will then have nearly two weeks off before resuming the Big Ten schedule on Jan. 5 at Iowa. Tonight's game is televised on the Big Ten Network.
Indiana guard Xavier Johnson is out for sure after having foot surgery on Wednesday. IU officials are hoping he'll be back sometime during the Big Ten season. Senior forward Trayce Jackson-Davis and junior forward Jordan Geronimo both missed Tuesday's game with Elon, and are day-to-day decisions.
We will update their status later tonight.
