BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana men's and women's basketball will kickoff the 2025-26 season with a new interactive fan event, Hoosier Hoops on Kirkwood, on Thursday, Oct. 2 from 8-10 p.m. ET.
Among the event's attractions will be player introductions, skills competitions, and meet-and-greet opportunities. It will take place on one of the most iconic college backdrops on Kirkwood Avenue and Sample Gates, spanning the 300, 400, and 500 blocks.
The women's program is coming off its 10th-straight 20-win season and sixth-straight NCAA Tournament appearance in 2024-25 and are led by head coach Teri Moren, who enters her 12th season at the helm of the program. Senior guard Shay Ciezki (11.4 ppg.) returns to guide the Hoosiers as redshirt sophomore guard Lenée Beaumont is poised for return after an injury last season kept her sidelined. The roster will feature eight new players including the last two Miss Indiana Basketball winners in Maya Makalusky (2025) and Chloe Spreen (2024).
The men's team underwent a complete overhaul and was highlighted by the hire of head coach Darian DeVries, the program's 31st head coach, on March 19, 2025. DeVries brought in the 10th-ranked transfer portal class according to 247Sports. The 10-player class comprised off highly productive players from successful programs. Fifth-year senior guard Lamar Wilkerson (Sam Houston State) averaged 20.5 points per game and shot 44.5% from behind the 3-point line in 2024-25 while fifth-year senior forward Tucker DeVries (Drake, West Virginia) has averaged 17.7 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 2.5 assists per game in 112 career games.
