For the second time in three seasons, Indiana will play in the National Invitation Tournament (NIT). The Hoosiers, one of the first four teams out of the NCAA tournament, are a No. 1 seed and will host Saint Francis (Pa.) on Tuesday night at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall.
The game will tip at 7 p.m. ET on ESPN with Dave Feldman and Dan Dakich on the call:
Indiana’s 12-2 start looked as if it would be the prequel for a return to the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2016.
The Hoosiers, however, dropped 12 of their next 13 games and are now relegated to a secondary postseason tournament for the second time in third seasons.
