Indiana basketball adopts winning mentality from IU football

Indiana men's basketball coach Darian DeVries is drawing inspiration from Indiana football's recent success as his team prepares for the season. After IU football's comeback win at Nebraska, DeVries emphasized the importance of discipline and consistency. The coaching staff believes this mindset will help the team, particularly as 11 newcomers integrate into the roster following a successful exhibition win against Butler. Indiana dominated the second half, forcing turnovers and limiting Butler’s scoring to secure a convincing victory. The Hoosiers will continue their exhibition schedule with games against North Carolina and Western Kentucky before opening the season on November 2 against Eastern Illinois.
