Indiana’s Sam Alexis passes during a game against Incarnate Word on November 16, 2025, in Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall.
Indiana (4-0) welcomes Lindenwood University (2-3) to Bloomington tonight. Incarnate Word gave the Hoosiers a late scare on Sunday, and IU looks to get the lackluster final ten minutes of that game out of its mouth against Lindenwood.
The Hoosiers won Sunday’s game, but the final stretch frustrated a large segment of the fan base. A high percentage of the struggles come down to missing open shots, but there are always other remedies to a performance. The defense, ball movement, and overall aggressiveness could have increased a bit to offset the poor shooting night.
Lindenwood University is in Saint Charles, Missouri, and plays in the Ohio Valley Conference. Last year, Southern Illinois-Edwardsville made the NCAA Tournament out of the conference before losing to Houston in the first round.
The Lions moved to Division 1 in 2022-23.
On Sunday, Lindenwood lost to Alabama A&M 74-65. For comparison, the Hoosiers took down Alabama A&M 98-51 to open the season.
Here are the broadcast details, in-depth scouting notes, background on Lindenwood, and the focal points for Indiana.
