After two exhibition games, Indiana will take the court for its first regular season contest of the 2023-24 campaign tonight against Florida Gulf Coast.
The Eagles aren’t the hardest team Indiana will see in a non-conference slate that features defending champion UConn, but they also present more of a challenge than the typical early season buy game. They’re an experienced group settling into Pat Chambers’ systems as he enters his second season as head coach.
That said, Indiana will be the more talented team and will be heavy favorites entering the game. .
This is a step up in talent and stakes from Indiana’s two exhibition games this season, but there’s still a limit to how much we can take away from today’s matchup.
